Two School Shootings, One Media Narrative

 

A tale of two school shootings, one in Florida and the other in Maryland, is highly instructive.

Perhaps nothing reveals the increasingly blatant bias of the mainstream media more than their coverage — or conspicuous lack thereof — of events that either align themselves with the progressive political agenda, or run counter to it. A tale of two school shootings, one at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, and the other at Great Mills High School in Southern Maryland, is highly indicative.

Despite a plethora of evidence to the contrary, the Parkland narrative continues to be framed as a gun control issue, and thus remains front and center. This includes the latest expletive-filled diatribe by the media-anointed anti-gun “authority,” Parkland student David Hogg. By contrast, the Great Mills narrative of a “good guy with a gun stopping a bad guy with a gun” has, by comparison, been relegated to the ash heap of history.
