I just read up on the shootings done by a trump supporter gone rogue with a lengthy hit list of other liberals. Hopefully this nutcase will get what he deserves and there are many, many things I can think of........
I did not know of the murder of the the Minnesota legislator and her husband and dog and the wounding of another legislator there. Horrifying to say the least.
Yes, horrifying! And it did not get nearly the news coverage it deserves. Biden and Harris attended the funeral services with Minn. Gov. Tim Waltz delivering the eulogy, as appropriate.
Hi Renee, horrifying indeed! I'm curious about how linked in to news you might be. As in, do you watch the news or regularly read news or listen to it on the radio? My sense is that this politically-motivated murder was not covered enough in the media, which is why you hadn't heard about it. And that's just crazy, right? This murder should have been front page everywhere and it should have been condemned by EVERY politician, no matter their affiliation. The fact that it wasn't and that so many people never even heard about it, well, that's equally horrifying to me. And terribly terribly sad. :(
Indeed, this brutal political assassination was not covered nearly enough, Jan. It is a political assassination that must never be forgotten. CNN has one of their best lawyers, Laura Coats, assigned (apparently full time) to the Diddy trial. What that trial has to do with anything particularly important is beyond me.
UGH!!!! YES!!! it is disgusting how much the Diddy trial is covered. All I can think is that it is sensational and it feeds off racial stereotypes, which our country loves. so freaking upsetting that what really matters is largely ignored.
Just a short time ago I listened to NPR nonstop on my computer. However, I currently listen to a podcast called NO SLEEP which are fictional tales of the supernatural, a genre I love. This accounts for why I did not learn of this via NPR and I'm sure they covered it. I also stopped NPR for awhile because I could not stand hearing about Donald and Doge and Elon. I still get updates via different sources on my computer, but this was not covered until way after the event.
Yeah, as I asked above...where is the outage? This should have been analyzed non-stop and should not be forgotten as other news stories continue. It is a political assassination, and you can't get much worse than that in supposed democracy...
Well I completely understand needing to take a break from NPR and the news! We all need to take care of our mental health first and foremost in this moment. I only read Letters from an American (Heather Cox Richardson) daily and then scroll thru NYtimes and general news on my phone and even then... ugh. Since you do still get updates from various sources even when you're on a NPR break, that confirms my hunch that this horrific crime was not covered enough. And that's pretty tragic.
Try to imagine if it was Repub legislators who were shot, killed, and wounded; The Donald definitely would have been at the funeral and there would have been no mockery from the rest of the republican thugs. You can not get more pathetic and mean spirited than these soulless idiots.

Good point that the Diddy trial feeds off racial stereotypes.
