Hogan’s Heroes Hold That Tiger 1965

If you’ve followed the MSM at all for the last 40 years you know that if there is one thing they love it’s stories that promote the disarming of citizens.

What they particularly love are stories that suggest the disarming of citizens that take place in Red States because that why they can point the finger at the GOP rather than themselves, and if that story is about a mass shooting well that’s the trifecta when it comes to creating a national story.

However there is one thing that can get in the way of such a story and that’s DaTechGuy’s 3rd Law of Media Outrage which states:

The MSM’s elevation and continued classification of any story as Nationally Newsworthy rather than only of local interest is in direct correlation to said story’s current ability to affirm any current Democrat/Liberal/Media meme/talking point, particularly on the subject of race or sexuality.

Well you would think a mass shooting with over 300 shots fired which took place in Memphis this week would qualify, even it it was in a blue city oasis in the middle of a Red State, alas there is a catch. See if you can spot it from this video of the event:

Alas the shooters were of the wrong race, and thus this story hurts the Democrat message on race. Even 300 shots and video are not enough to get this story onto any national broadcast so like the Superbowl shootings this story will be confined to the local news until it dies away.

Cue Ann Coulter:

Reverse the Religions in this Story and it’s National if not International News OR DaTechGuy’s 3rd Law of Media Outrage Strikes Again

Here is a story you likely won’t see on CNN

Police said a Nashville family is facing charges after police say they beat their son who recently converted from Islam to Christianity.

Nick Kadum, 57, Rawaa Khawaji, 46, and John Kadum, 29, were all charged in the incident.

Metro officers were dispatched to Amber Hills Lane on Tuesday to do a welfare check on the victim, who is a juvenile. When officers arrived, the victim appeared disheveled and cut haphazardly, police said. The victim had a scratch on the back of his right hand and several lumps on his face.

The victim told police his father, mother and brother attacked him because he had recently become a Christian and they are Muslims, who were disappointed in his change of religion, according to an arrest report.

“He stated (his mother), along with his brother and father, repeatedly punched him and spat in his face,” an officer stated in the report. “He stated his mother then took a knife and scratched the back of his right hand with it. He stated his family, including his mother, demanded he recant and say he was a Muslim.”

Now if the parents and family doing the beating and wielding the knife were Christian then CNN would be making this national news if not international news. You might even see protests on the streets in foreign capitals.

But alas they are Muslims so DaTechGuy’s 3rd law of media outrage applies:

The MSM’s elevation and continued classification of any story as Nationally Newsworthy rather than only of local interest is in direct correlation to said story’s current ability to affirm any current Democrat/Liberal/Media meme/talking point, particularly on the subject of race or sexuality.

thus this remains local news barely worth the short story that Nashville 4 gave it.

In fairness, Jesus did explicitly say this kind of thing was not only part of the job description

Brother will hand over brother to death, and the father his child; children will rise up against parents and have them put to death. You will be hated by all because of my name, but whoever endures to the end will be saved.

Matt 10:21,22

But part of the plan

“Do not think that I have come to bring peace upon the earth. I have come to bring not peace but the sword. For I have come to set a man ‘against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; and one’s enemies will be those of his household.’

Matt 10:34-36
