Media further damages its reputation after policeman stops attempted murder

 Washington Examiner:

Some figures in establishment media became indignant when former President Donald Trump labeled them “the enemy of the people.” But that was not a sentiment that Trump simply willed into existence. It’s one that the media itself cultivated. The Columbus police shooting is providing a great example of how.

The situation was as clear as possible. An officer arrived on the scene, where Ma’Khia Bryant shoved a woman to the ground. The officer then told her to get down, repeatedly, before she charged at another woman while wielding a knife. The officer shot and killed Bryant, saving the life of the other woman.

The circumstances didn’t matter to several media outlets. The New York Times used a tweet from attorney Ben Crump in its coverage, initially just omitting the part where Crump falsely claimed that Bryant was unarmed. The New York Times was one of several outlets, including the Washington Post and CBS News, that tied the shooting to the conviction of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin. Others focused on race rather than the attempted murder by stabbing that had been thwarted by the police officer.

There was a time when the media used to get the facts before jumping to a false conclusion and narrative.  They are too wrapped up in their anti-police narrative these days to take a breath.  They further discredit themselves and those who prefer this false narrative are in a shrinking minority.
