The liberal media’s bias was on full display yet again following the tragic shooting at Michigan State University Monday night that left three dead and five others in critical condition.
The three evening news broadcasts were quick to jump to their usual playbook of overblowing how frequent mass shootings in the United States are and turning to guests or victims to plea for gun control. All three networks used completely dishonest and inflated statistics that there have been 67 mass shootings in the United States in 2023.
What the networks failed to report was that the gunman had his prior gun charge dismissed by a George Soros-backed prosecutor in the name of “race equity.”
The only mention of the gunman even having a criminal history that banned him from owning a weapon came from NBC Nightly News when Maggie Vespa reported that “investigators highlighting Mcrae’s record, most recently pleading guilty to a misdemeanor weapons charge in 2021.”
Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel was perplexed at how the gunman managed to obtain a weapon despite his criminal background. But what she failed to investigate was the fact that the gunman had his felony gun charges dismissed by Ingham County District Attorney Carol Siemon, who is part of George Soros’ vast public safety network.
Soros’ network includes other radical left prosecutors like Philadelphia’s Larry Krasner, Chicago’s Kim Foxx, and Los Angeles’ George Gascon.
The Washington Free Beacon reported that “Anthony McRae was charged in June 2019 with illegally carrying a concealed handgun without a permit, but later had those charges dismissed by Siemon’s office. His office instead let McRae plead guilty to a lesser misdemeanor gun charge, and he served a little more than a year on probation, which ended May 2021. He initially faced up to five years in prison for the felony charge, the Detroit News reported.”
It’s clear the liberal media is more interested in pushing their anti-Second Amendment agenda than they are in reporting the truth. They deliberately ignore stories like this one to further their narrative that guns are inherently bad and must be heavily regulated.
But the truth is that the Second Amendment is an essential right that all Americans deserve to have. It’s a right that should be protected and defended, not demonized and attacked.
The Michigan State University shooting is yet another tragic reminder of how quickly our lives can be taken away by evil individuals with ill-intent. But it’s also a reminder that the liberal media will do anything to push their own agenda, even if it means not reporting the truth.
