    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

    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.

    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

      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.

      I think they unironically consider normal people posting on Twitter and TikTok as media. That is the only way this statement could have any validity, and it still doesn't.

        Or that they think the "common people" aren't capable of thinking for themselves and therefore must have been convinced that this was a good thing by some "alternative media"

    To be fair, if it turned out he was a minority or an immigrant the Fox-sphere take on the whole thing would’ve been heinous

    Lmao libs forever lost the right to pull this kinda shit when they accused Biden detractors of being "ableist" when pointing out the Word Slurry coming out of his mouth.

    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

    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
