This article seems to have a lot of facts mixed up and they appear to be unaware of things that to my mind are publicly available. What’s going on with the spin?
The article states they have no idea what the shooter’s motivations are, but there was a screenshot of Crook’s X account that pretty clearly laid them out. https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2F3503dwt80gcd1.jpeg
The article goes on to state that he bought ammunition at Walmart, while other articles state he used an AR, and that Biden wants to ban them again in the wake of the shooting. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2024/07/17/biden-ban-ar-15-trump-assassination/74416454007/
Walmart does not sell .223/.556 ammo.
It’s been 6 days since the shooting. What the hell is going on with investigative journalism?
Everyone hates ads. Everyone hates subscribing to one news source when news has become commodified. Also when there were like 3 news organizations, public figures had to court them, but now there’s tons and the journalists have to play nice or lose access. So anyone attempting real journalism is losing money and going out of business while the big conglomerates are owned by the wealthy and are more about propaganda than news. What’s left are places subsisting more on clickbait and getting garbage articles out faster than anyone else instead of taking their time doing good reporting.
Fourth estate fucked, y’all.
