    The “media’s empathetic coverage” just an outright inversion of reality

    Of course the author has to assume such a bullshit position, otherwise their take makes zero sense

      Uhm the b-word is actually a slur. Please say person of means. I also noticed you didn’t start your comment with a capital acknowledgement, Hexbear is hosted by OVH, it’s ignorant and disrespectful to not thank founder Octave Klaba and current CEO Michel Paulin.

      Had Brian Thompson been a woman they would’ve said Luigi’s act was misogyny.

      (And no, I’m not kidding or even exagerating: this newspaper has quite the history of defending well off upper middle class sociopaths who happen to be women when they say the most outrageous anti-poor things or lie shamelessly, by saying that the critics of those people and their acts are misogynists).

    Ah yes folks definitely only like him because he’s white and definitely not because he killed a serial killer.

    Also apparently NOW the media cares about racial bias in reporting? All of the sudden? Right sure yeah okay

    Lol we’ve just done a year of “genocide against arabs is OK actually” and now they’re gonna dust off the old “gesture vaguely at white male privilege rhetoric” again? Clown shit to the highest possible degree

      The angle the guardians been taking for the last year is that its bad to cheer for palestinians dying but also criticising israel in any way beyond saying netanyahu is bad is antisemitic

  • i can’t believe how much empathy elite institutions have granted the white male terrorist Linguini Manicotti for doing an indiscriminate mass shooting of LGBTQIA+ ally Brian Thompson, husband and father, known throughout the world for his extensive DEI work in the BIPOC community.

    Media’s empathetic coverage of Luigi Mangione reveals an obsession with humanizing white male suspects

    considering the coverage hasn’t been remotely empathetic, this settles the question of whether or not anti-italian-actions are white yet

    Oh, look, an “opinion maker” at The Guardian using Identity Politics to try and slander the victims’ reaction in what is a de facto class war.

    Mind you, using Identity Politics against any negative ractions to Wealth Inequality is much tradition in a neoliberal newspaper which is pretty much The Modern Voice Of The Traditional English Upper and Upper Middle Classes.
