Everything has to be a fucking agenda.

I'm so tired of people from the left and right fucking fighting over dumb shit like what race the bomber is. Why can't we just say, "That's fucking horrible" and move on to helping the victims?

Pro tip. They report on multiple things at once. And as another user said Wolf said it at the end of his broadcast. Just back down. He was shitposting by trying to lump those two as "liberal networks trying to hide terrorism" it's as transparent as windex.


Yeah, clear to a combative partisan hack constantly looking to argue. Can't speak for MSNBC but at the time he posted and even minutes after, CNN was not reporting on it.

And you'd think something as tragic as this might take priority over something they've been reporting on all day.


you have issues

3:25 PM PT -- Several people present -- including actress Julie Hesmondhalgh from "Coronation Street" -- say there was no explosion but rather a loud bang, which created a stampede and people were injured trying to get out of the facility.

So it could have been an equipment malfunction and people panicked resulting in injuries and death over nothing? Fantastic.

the issue is, reddit and twitter are now so integrated with the news as journalists flock to it for voxpop soundbites that when something like this happens the journalism involved becomes "here's what people have said on twitter". When that comes out, people start talking about the news, which gives the news more tweets to report on.

Those were early fake reports, a bomb of some kind was indeed set off.

What exactly woujld you people suggest???

You say don't use horrific tragedies to push agendas, but that's exactly why we're in this mess to begin with. Remember that little drowned Syrian kid? I bet you had no issue at all with lefties using that tragedy to open to flood gates and allow the hoards of third worlders in. Using tragedies to push agendas has been at the core of almost everything for decades.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1yeA_kHHLow


Using tragedies is basically the left's primary tactic. The only way they've survived this long is by using tragedies to push their agendas. And when there are no tragedies to take advantage of, they make them up.

To be honest, there's nothing necessarily wrong with using a tragedy to push an agenda if that agenda is going to actually positively benefit your country. In the case of these sorts of attacks,what they do is "raise awareness" of a growing problem with you know who. And not just them, but the lying fucking media that propagates this bullshit and manipulates news in order to get the public on certain sides of an issue, and the politicians who make it happen...

Doesn't seem like this would be something the IRA would do. I think they usually gave warnings of bombings ahead of time. However, it could be a splinter group or some group that is trying to copy them.

Twitter noise, I know, but dude said he called Oldham and they advise they are locked down due to the concert incident, not a gunman. Hopefully that's true.

For noise, it's actually informative, unlike the deluge of "OMG! I'm shaking soooo hard!" happening right now.

Anderson Cooper is literally talking about this now.

Idk why so many people are trying to witch hunt CNN for reporting something super early, especially when it wasn't a domestic issue, when there's not many facts yet.

We probably won't know anything firm until early tomorrow cause of the time difference.
