Our legacy media do not tell you the whole truth. Instead, they generally pick and choose the narratives they think you are allowed to be told. You can't be trusted with the actual facts. What this means is that very often, you will see a crime and it's perfectly obvious what the motivation for the crime is, but you're not told the motivation for the crime. Or there's a crime you're not told all the relevant facts about because you can't be trusted with those facts. But with certain other types of crime, the motivation will be made known to you immediately. That inconsistency means we cannot trust the media. We don't know when they're telling us the truth and when they are manufacturing a narrative. Take the recent and horrific shooting in Allen, Texas, at a mall as an example. In this particular case, we saw federal officials immediately come out and mention the motivation of the shooter. At the time of this writing, according to the Associated Press, federal officials are looking into whether the gunman, who killed eight people at a Dallas area mall on Sunday, expressed an interest in white supremacist ideology as they work to discern a motive for the attack.

A law enforcement official cautioned the Associated Press that the investigation is in its early stages. Yet federal officials immediately leaked to the Associated Press. Why exactly is it important how fast the media came out with this particular narrative? It is important simply because of the contrast between that rapidity and how slowly the media comes out with other narratives when it involves mass shootings. Take, for example, the Orlando Pulse nightclub shooting. Several years ago, there was a shooting at a gay club in Orlando. The original media narrative was, this must have been a right winger who hated gay people. And then there was speculation this person was actually a repressed homosexual. It turned out that, in all likelihood, the shooter was an Islamic extremist. The same thing happened 20 years ago during the Fort Hood shooting. The shooter was a member of the military, and then obviously radicalized by al-Qaida. We were told that was an act of workplace violence because the media decided you could not know the truth.

There have been a bevy of attacks, including multiple shootings, against Jews by members of the Black Hebrew Israelites over the course of the last couple of years. Has there been a widespread media examination of the ideology of the Black Hebrew Israelites and their toxic anti-Semitic and racist ideology? Of course not. But the minute the media are able to identify any aspect of white supremacist ideology, they report on it. Now, white supremacist ideology is obviously evil — one of the worst philosophies on the planet. However, there are many evil ideologies. Yet only certain types of evil ideologies get exposed by the media right away. For example, we are still supposed to believe that it is a giant mystery why a woman who identified as a trans man murdered Christian schoolchildren in Nashville. We still do not have the manifesto from this person. This is why there is so much confusion. It is why there is so much speculation, because now people are led to speculate. They think, correctly, that the same media who refuse to tell us why this trans shooter murdered Christian school kids are eager to discuss white supremacy when it comes to Allen, Texas. Selective lying breeds distrust. And lies by omission are merely a form of selective lying.
