Perhaps you can have someone from WaPo on to explain this dishonest, disgraceful headline.
This crap makes us hate the media.@jaketapper https://t.co/kMM7O2ta8R— Kurt Schlichter (@KurtSchlichter) June 12, 2017
We’ve already told you about an op-ed in the New York Times as well as a tweet from Rep. Adam Schiff that both take a familiar “blame the gun” approach to mass shooting terrorist attacks. Next up, the Washington Post takes it all up a notch:
A year ago, 49 people died at Pulse nightclub. Today, Orlando remembers. https://t.co/k6Bj3gXStD
— The Washington Post (@washingtonpost) June 12, 2017
The Post glossed over (or completely ignored) certain details. Guess which details…
1. They were murdered
2. Not a single mention in piece why. https://t.co/ilBR0LLrZx— Stephen Miller (@redsteeze) June 12, 2017
Only mention of "terrorist" is in the title of the embedded video, only mention of "Islamic State" is in its caption. #Weird https://t.co/3iaRIsUBkZ

What a chilling coincidence that they were all in the same night club when they died. https://t.co/CKYNFO4PKG

The Post didn’t disappoint those on the Left pushing the “gun violence” narrative:
One year later, WaPo's Pulse retrospective has zero mentions of ISIS, terrorism, Islam, etc.
But they did add this.https://t.co/ibHUBoEA6A pic.twitter.com/fooHgEEsat

I'm going to make a leap here and speculate that if a Christian extremist had murdered 49 gay men, that fact might make it into print.

"upended by gun violence" as if the guns ran through the streets with no human intervention

Ah. The ubiquitous "gun violence". Sigh.

"Gun violence" this was Islamic terrorism. https://t.co/wUlqwghc9F

"DEMOCRACY DIES IN DARKNESS" -the publication choosing to keep people in the dark about the reason people died. https://t.co/cU9Gjx1Lw6

Still MSM outlets wonder why people turn to randos on the internet for news. https://t.co/tOBJR8MRo2

Let's try that headline again WaPo:
A year ago, 49 people were murdered by an Islamist extremist who despised gay people. #OrlandoUnitedDay https://t.co/CDo3m4nFKq
— Jessie Jane Duff (@JessieJaneDuff) June 12, 2017
Died? They were murdered in a terrorist attack by a radical Islamist. https://t.co/3iaRIsUBkZ

Why did they die, again? Who killed them? https://t.co/R67J8Ctx9E

I don't get the passive headline here. They were murdered. https://t.co/b1sAX3l9VB

Typical that you leave out the biggest detail. Fast becoming the worst newspaper in America. Give people the news, stop filtering it.
— Stuart McNair (@stuartkmcnair) June 12, 2017
They/we remember, but apparently you forgot how they "died."
— Carl Gustav (@CaptYonah) June 12, 2017
It's headlines like these that make me wonder how the media of today would protect the atrocities of Hitler, Mao, Pol Pot, & Stalin.
