Tim Waltz and DaTechGuy’s 6th Law of Media Outrage

It’s been a while since I’ve written about DaTechGuy’s Laws of Media Outrage so let me give you a refresher before we start:

DaTechGuy’s 1st law of media outrage:

The level of Outrage or interest of the media and their allies on the left concerning any insult or prevarication concerning a person or thing will routinely be equal to the inverse of the degree of the political distance between said media / leftists and the target of said insult or prevarication at the time it is made

A great example of this came in the Virginia elections when wanting your opponents and their kids dead was a thing.

DaTechGuy’s 2nd Law of Media Outrage:

The level of acceptance of the positions and/or actions of any group or organization by the left and media is directly proportional to their current or potential value in electing liberal Democrats.

Think the entire “”Illegal Orders” nonsense which they are using as an attack on the Sec of Defense.

DaTechGuy’s 3rd Law of media outrage:

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.

Crime in any blue city is the poster child for this. None of it is considered nationally newsworthy unless the proper race combination is involved.

DaTechGuy’s 4th Law of Media Outrage:

The degree of media exposure of the corruption or illegality committed by any individual or organization under investigation is directly proportional to its distance from the media’s ideology.

This one COULD be applied to the story of Somali fraud but I think the better example of this law is This little ditty about how Doge is still slashing fraud and waste:

DaTechGuy’s 5th Law of Media Outrage:

Any positive actions, even one that supposedly advances a goal, or done by a group allied or identified with the radical left, will not be considered newsworthy nationally, if said action has the potential to highlight a failure and/or inaction by a Democrat administration that is in power at the time of said positive action

The poster child for this law was the move by radical feminists to evacuate girls from Afghanistan who were in danger from the Taliban. I wrote about this at the time and commended their action to save the lives of women who were the potential victims of actual repression and murder, however the media did not find the story particularly newsworthy as you could not celebrate these actions without highlighting the Biden Administrations Afghan debacle and of course they play even less well with the murders of by Afghani Jihadis in the US

and finally the law that is in play right now:

DaTechGuy’s 6th Law of Media Outrage:

The degree of protection by or attack of the media on any person is governed by the degree of danger and/or usefulness to the Democrat party’s electoral goals said protection or attack represents

My poster child for this in the past was the Hunter Biden story but it is now the Tim Waltz Story.

consider this tweet:

What people are missing is not that the NYT was “scooped” on the Tim Waltz story. It’s that as long as Tim Waltz was considered an asset to the Democrat party winning elections and getting Democrats elected nationally his failures in office and any corruption he was involved in was either:

  • Not Newsworthy

or

  • A Local story

But now that Waltz’s usefulness to the party’s electoral plans is gone the story can be told because his involvement in this scandal and the public acknowledgement of this via the next and the President not to mention the sheer volume of the fraud makes it impossible to hide.

Plus even if Waltz is replaced or even forced to resign there are plenty of just as left Democrats ready to replace him in that state who don’t have the baggage but have the same views (Think the current gov of NY after Cuomo went away).

Thus suddenly the Minnesota Corruption story is newsworthy for the times and it can help remove an impediment to Democrats power and their narrative.

A perfect application of DaTechGuy’s Laws of media outrage.

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.

#Unexpectedly of courseTM

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
