Annals of Media Misinformation: Imagine All the Other Garbage CNN is Feeding its Remaining Viewers

A school shooting took place this morning during mass at a Catholic church school in Minneapolis. According to the latest reports, two people are dead and at least 17 are injured. The shooter — a man described as “dressed in all black and armed with a rifle” is also reported dead, though it isn’t clear whether he killed himself or was shot by police.

Meanwhile, CNN is, of course, covering the story. Part of that coverage includes someone named Evan Perez who CNN describes as their “Senior Justice Correspondent based in the Washington, D.C. Bureau, reporting on legal, crime, and national security issues.”

While Perez apparently knows something about the courts and the criminal justice system, one thing he’s embarrassingly ignorant about is firearms. He prominently displayed his abject lack of basic knowledge for all the world to see this morning in the above clip.

When the talking head host described the shooting and the weapon used, she said “…it seemed like a rifle he said, a semi-automatic rifle, and it went on for seven minutes.” That’s when Perez dropped this barely polished turd of fetid media “analysis” . . .

Right, and look, that’s not uncommon as well. These things can shoot dozens of bullets, you know, in just one trigger pull, right? And so, what happens in this case is sometimes they have enough time to reload. It’s one of the most horrific things…

Perez, however, is obviously one of the best in his field. As the National Press Foundation notes, he . . .

…was awarded the White House Correspondents’ Association’s Merriman Smith Award in the broadcast category for their January 2017 report on how the intelligence community believed Russia had compromising information on then-President-elect Trump.

So clearly, when CNN’s audience gets this kind of authoritative commentary from Perez on breaking news, they can be confident that he’s giving them the straight poop. Huge, steaming piles of it.

Given this morning’s performance, you can only wonder what other garbage disguised as news the remainder of CNN’s dwindling audience members are getting and taking as gospel.

  1. The only people who don’t know the MSM is either ludicrously wrong at best or intentionally deceiving at worst regardless of what they’re covering are the consumers of MSM.

    So 200,000 people all over the age of 65.

  2. “a man described as “dressed in all black and armed with a rifle” is also reported dead, though it isn’t clear whether he killed himself or was shot by police.”

    [UPDATE 12:06 p.m.] During a press conference, Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara said that the children at the school were in Mass, marking the first week of school. The shooter — who had a rifle, shotgun, and pistol — began firing through the church windows from outside. Two children, ages eight and 10 years old, are dead. Seventeen others are injured, including 14 children. Two of the children are in critical condition. Police found other terrified children hiding throughout the building.

    O’Hara said the shooter looks to be in his early twenties and most likely died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

      1. not known yet for sure, but in today’s world possibly or at least some form of made up ‘gender identity’. But it is beginning to sound a little ANTIFA/TRANTIFA like.

        1. Minneapolis Catholic school gunman ID’d as Robin Westman— while possible manifesto shows psychotic obsession with mass shooters.

          “The deranged gunman who slaughtered two children and injured at least 17 others who were attending morning mass at a Catholic school in Minneapolis has been identified — as a disturbing video believed to have been posted by the shooter shows ‘kill Donald Trump’ and ‘for the children’ scrawled on gun magazines.

          Robin Westman, who is in his early 20s, opened fire through the stained glass windows of Annunciation Catholic Church during a celebratory back-to-school Mass filled with children, around 8:30 a.m. Wednesday.
          …”

          1. Ok, more info, he was a 22 year old biological male transgender living as a woman. So yep, transgender creature targeting christian children. Another trans mass/school shooter.

            and also > Robin Westman, had a now-deleted YouTube channel with videos showing guns, a manifesto in Russian and English, and a church map. His content displayed extreme views, including pro-Russian, pro-Trans, pro-Communist, and anti-Trump, anti-Christian, anti-Semitic, and anti-Indian messages, mixing controversial topics and online memes.

          2. “🚨 BREAKING — CONFIRMED: Robin Westman (previously ROBERT Westman), the Minneapolis Catholic School shooter, was a MAN who “identified” as a woman

            TRANS VlOLENCE MUST BE ADDRESSED NOW!

            He began identifying as “trans” as a MINOR, and his parents signed off on it , per court records.

            His name was ROBERT Westman until 2020, when he changed his name to ROBIN Westman”

          3. I wonder if the left wing media will try to hide the trans fact like they tried with the Nashville trans murderer.

          4. His mother was an employee at the school.

            He showed a manifesto in a 20-minute YouTube video just hours before the shooting. It has since been deleted and police are using it as part of their investigation.

            The video showed a drawing of a church with a man saying quietly: “I’m going to kill myself”. The man also stabbed the drawing repeatedly.

            Other videos posted on the account referred to suicide and violent thoughts.

            Yep, even more left-wing liberal crazy.

          5. Correction: I posted previously the mother of the trans killer, ROBERT Westman (AKA ‘Robin’ Westman), that she worked at the school. More correctly, she is a former employee of the school.

            Court records show the shooter’s mother applied to change his name in 2019 from Robert Paul Westman to Robin M. Westman because he identified as a female, according to the Minnesota Star Tribune. Since Robert was a minor at the time, changing his name required parental consent.

          6. I wonder if the left wing media will try to hide…

            The MSM hasn’t been mentioning tranz at all. If he was wearing a MAGA hat, every one of them would have mentioned that immediately.

      2. Either that or a sympathizer.
        His video manifestos and the crap he wrote all over his guns is all over the place. Lots of Trump threats, antisemitism, some anti immigrant, call backs to previous mass shooters, MLP stickers all over the place, a bunch of old ass meme slogans and chan slang.

        A full blown schizo zoomer.

        1. …And anti-Christian no doubt which the media will intentionally ignore as they always do. If he was a Muslim, it would take the media all of one day before the coverage was about Islamophobia.

          1. The left wing media will blame it on ‘MAGA’ and law abiding gun owners and Trump, wait and see.

          2. and of course here it comes…its not the fault of a mentally ill trans killer, its the fault of Republicans: ‘Disgusting!’ Amy Klobuchar Rightly Gets Destroyed After Blaming Republicans for Minnesota Mass Shooting.



            Townhall.com
            @townhallcom
            🚨LIES—Sen. Klobuchar just BLAMED Republicans for the shooting at the MN Catholic mass.

            “All the work we’ve done to ban these automatic rifles, & do something when it comes to background checks…We keep getting thwarted.”

            The rifle WASN’T AUTOMATIC.

            ‘And to do something when it comes to when it comes to background checks and everything,’ Klobuchar said. ‘We keep getting THWARTED. We were able to pass a limited measure on a bipartisan basis, but not enough to stop something like this. It makes you think about that.’

            As Townhall.com noted in the post, Klobuchar is just flat-out lying, and it’s disgusting.

            Amy Klobuchar is scum. Blaming Republicans for the shooting in a Minneapolis Catholic school and church in a city where these weapons are already banned.

            And as for thoughts and prayers, if you think we believe they are a magic shield you do not get it. The need for prayers after a tragedy is for peace, comfort and healing.

            Stop sending your political messages when there are kids fighting for their lives and families grieving.

            DISGUSTING!!!!

            Democrat Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar calls into MSNBC, turns the horrific mass sho*ting at a Minneapolis church today that took the lives of children into a political commercial against Republicans:
            …”

            [note: Just like a dem to blame mental illness, WELL KNOWN MENTAL ILLNESS, on inanimate objects and republicans]

    1. This mentally ill killer is believed to have fired all 3 weapons: a rifle, a shotgun and a pistol – according to police.

  3. Another award winning journo for the manufactured Russia narrative. Of course he’s a joke, as is CNN. They both willingly participated in an attempted soft coup along with their Democrat buddies.

  4. FormerParatrooper

    Who would have thought pumping hormones and SSRI’s in children while indulging thier mental illness would lead to antisocial behaviour, murder ideation and suicide.

    There has been a major failure in society and we will be paying for it for at least a generation if no tmore.

    For those contemplating murder / suicide. Choose one, and murder isn’t on the list of choices.
