On the left is the selfie Christopher Mercer uploaded to his social media. On the right is how CNN presented the same selfie in broadcast stories about him. Why did CNN need to change the complexion (color) of their broadcast?

can you do a set with one pic in each color of the rainbow?

red (commie bastard)
orange (ooompa looompa)
yellow (coward)
green (tree hugger)
blue (already done, avatar)
purple (related to barney the dinosaur)
white (done by CNN)
brown (done by nature)

how about polka dot?
stripes?
checkerboard?

NBC news will take an audio cell phone recording where the shooter may have yelled
"Allah Akbar" and manipulate it to where he says "I hate gays and blacks".

This is why I don't watch MSM or listen to the NPR news. They all have a bias. How many people actually believe that shit the MSM/NPR shovels? Many are too lazy to actually seek out news and want some 30 second blurb on important stories fed to them. It's just another reason many are dumb as hammers with current events.

Edit:
I'm sorry, Spence. I didn't mean you. I'm just frustrated with the shit that's now called news on tv. Long gone is reporting without taking a side.

He still looks like a nut job either way. The media just wants to sell a story. They are no better than tabloids nowdays.

I cannot in any way, shape or form confirm the veracity of this accusation, since nobody seems to be in possession of the actual video broadcast that showed Mercer as a white man.
