TDF that just par for the course these days. If she slugged a guy she'd be sued and he would probably file charges. There were three things about this coverage that have set me off (thanks for asking). The first is the rush to judgement on the first day where within hours of the event, prior to any statement by officials, the media are trying to assign blame etc.; the second was the constant identification of the shooter as Asian or Korean. Somewhat correct you could argue. But if it was me and I came over to the US at age 8 would they be saying an Irishman every 5 seconds. The guy lived here for 15 years. To me it is almost like they are pushing the foreign angle to push people's buttons even more. Lastly as we discussed above the release of the videos and pictures. I see mostly Fox and CNN so maybe the coverage was more balanced on the majors but somehow looking at what NBC has done I doubt it.
