\u2026 Don\u2019t you love how mainstream media exhibits the highest journalistic integrity and gets their facts straight, presenting all the pertinent information to the public? <\/p>\n

What wait? <\/p>\n

Interestingly, WaPo<\/a>, BBC<\/a>, and CNN <\/a> all failed to mention one bit of crucial information, that Nordine Amrani is a Moroccan born Muslim. The only thing all the news sources seem to go through great pains to point out is that this was not<\/strong> a terrorist incident. <\/p>\n

Contrast this with the media coverage of the Italian shooting that happened the same day. When Gianluca Casseri shot two Senegalese market traders in Florence<\/a> every single reporting agency noted he was an \u201cExtremist Right Winger\u201d in the headline or mentioned the fact within the very first paragraph. Every. single. one. <\/p>\n
