Only those things that support their narative are deemed worthy of coverage. MSNBC’s ‘Right-Wing’ Obsession
The Other McCain brings us more on MSNBC's fixation on...
January 6 now! January 6 tomorrow! January 6 forever!
While the whole thing is interesting, the statistics illuminate the issue that I'm interested in, just not the way that MSNBC wants to portray the current state of America.
According to the FBI, the U.S. had 22,900 homicides in 2021, the most recent year for which such national statistics are available. You see that 25 “extremist” murders is a tiny fraction of this annual total, barely a tenth of one percent (0.109% to be more precise). Of America’s murder victims in 2021, 99.891% were not killed by “extremists.”
Just to put that number into further context, in 2022, Chicago reported 737 homicides, Philadelphia had 526 homicides, Baltimore had 333 homicides, New Orleans had 277 homicides, and St. Louis had 200 homicides. These five cities accounted for a combined total of 2,073 homicides last year — but because none of them were motivated by “extremism,” MSNBC doesn’t care.
And yes, of course January 6th and Right-wing Extremist Murders are connected. In the minds of the Einsteins who work at MSNBC.
There is much more, and you should go read the whole thing.
