Like the rest of us, Jim Geraghty is wondering how a story about 11 kids being raised and trained to perform school shootings in a compound in rural New Mexico isn’t a top story today …
Holy @#%, how is this story about a bunch of loons, training 15 kids to commit school shootings and starving them, not the biggest story right now? https://t.co/XDtGpmiQk8

Holy @#% indeed!
They were starved and being trained to technically commit acts of terrorism.
You’d think the media would be all over this …
Correction: 11 kids.
— Jim Geraghty (@jimgeraghty) August 9, 2018
Eleven kids.
Wow.
Why oh why is this not the top story today? Jim is right …
Because:
A) They're Islamic radicals
B) Trump tweets
C) Journalism is dead https://t.co/uGB53TPTCG— Derek Hunter (@derekahunter) August 9, 2018
Oh, that’s right.
Our bad.
I would think the Media would at least cover the terrorist angle.

Sadly no. Wrong ‘type’ of terrorist. Now, if this was some evil white guy who was a member of the NRA and was teaching these kids how to prep or something you bet your sweet arse they’d be all over it today.
Terrorism, child abuse, school shootings… not exactly the sorts of topics the media doesn’t find newsworthy!

Things they are only truly interested in reporting on when it suits their narrative.

Freakin’ Amish, every time!
I am going with "does not hurt Trump or the NRA".
