Your Moral And Intellectual Superiors

Move along folks – nothing here to see.

Arapahoe High gunman held strong political beliefs, classmates said – That’s the headline of the Denver Post news story about Denver high school murderer Karl Pierson.
OK. He had strong political beliefs. Given that that’s the headline, wouldn’t a good reporter tell us up front what those political beliefs were?

  1. I don’t know why this bias keeps surprising us? There is no longer news… only stories that support the narrative. Journalism is dead. Propoganda is everything.

  2. Pray tell. A Liberal/Socialist POS. Who’d a thunk it. You don’t suppose he’s the only one, do ya?

  3. The editor at the Denver Post deliberately edited the term socialist from an interview with a classmate because the editor assumed the student did not really know what ‘socialist’ meant.

  4. Smear and innuendo. He came “from a religious family” but I would guess that he didn’t really heed the bible if he would shoot an innocent girl. Also couldn’t have been much of a debater if his response to being demoted from the debate team is to attempt to kill the coach rather than making a reasoned argument for his reinstatement. Another leftist loser.
    Kudos to the guard for engaging this coward in a firefight. He deserves a medal but I doubt Obama will award him one.

  5. The media is having a schizophrenic episode because ‘everyone’ knows that it’s impossible for a socialist and a sociopath to reside in the same body. Beside that do socialist sons even own guns let alone ‘take their guns to town’.

  6. Remember when the current occupant of the White House, immediately after getting elected, called a meeting of “journalists” to get to know them?
    Of course the trick was to wine and dine to make them friendly so as to make them feel guilty about writing bad about the communist agenda. Well, it seem to have everything worked well so far.
    You may also remember that he invites those that favor the agenda to a mind masturbation sessions to keep on track.
    There were those journalists that did not participate in the confabs, they deserve respective trademark.

  7. Did not actually write “respective trademark” it was the bloody blackberry,
    The word is “respect”.
    The intelligence of machines is way overrated.

  8. Presstitution, no talent, no ethics, no truth.
    Slander and innuendo without the rapier wit of the snark artists of yore.

  9. And I bet a month’s wages that it was last week the shooter decided to self diagnose a change to his anti depressant drugs.
    Google SSRI School shootings.

  10. grok started it earlier. Why did this shooter have so little “success” as opposed to the others – hard to do when there is incoming fire. (OK, I got that from a post at Tam`s)

  11. It’s not as if the “Reporter” is going to write: “Shooter, whose politics equates to mine, all my friends, my J-School faculty and classmates, my President, my Hollywood idles, my Parents, my Pope, my Governor, my favourite Rapper, my……….”

  12. My stepdaughter is a professor in Denver. The astonishing number of Obama bumperstickers adorning the imports on the streets of that city is a sure sign of the collective mindset. Said stepdaughter is exhibit one.

  13. After latest shooting, murder manual author calls for book to be taken ‘immediately’ out of print

    “The Anarchist Cookbook,” which Pierson read in the days before his rampage, isn’t a guide to culinary revolution. It’s the original how-to of homicide and mass murder — and sales are still raging, with distribution from the likes of Amazon and Barnes & Noble, even as the work is linked to terrorist acts around the world.
