It’s a lie. There is no other way to say it. Stay tuned for an explanation as to why.
First of all, the coverage. This lie was begun by the “old Gray lady” — The New York Times — where the rest of the mass media get their marching orders. The headline gives away the tone of the Editorial Board’s sentiments: “We have a White Nationalist Terrorist Problem.”
Not just terrorism. ‘White Nationalist’ terrorism.
The Wall Street Journal fed into the myth with this piece, “White Nationalists Post Challenge to Investigators.” The gist of this story is “white nationalists” are everywhere but they are so covert that they are hard to spot:
The shootings in Texas and Ohio that killed at least 31 people over the weekend left authorities searching for how to confront the challenges posed by mass violence and domestic terrorism, especially attacks driven by white-nationalist ideologies.
And so on.
But one researcher who took the time to actually investigate “mass shootings” and their origins discovered something that the blatantly dishonest mass media won’t report: The vast majority of mass shooters are not white.

The chart, as you can see, begins January 1 of this year. In all, there have been 255 mass shootings, according to the Gun Violence Archive, a Left-leaning organization which defines a mass shooting as an incident where at least four people were shot.
But the problem — and why so many Americans believe the hogwash that mass shootings are the result of a ‘rise in white nationalism’ — is because of the mass media’s outsized focus on shootings that fit their manufactured narrative.
When a white boy who allegedly wrote an anti-Hispanic manifesto shoots and kills 20 at a Walmart in El Paso, that gets wall-to-wall coverage (except for the part of the manifesto where he echos Left-wing talking points in bashing corporations and talking about all the environmental damage being done by farming).
When a white boy shoots and kills several people in Dayton, Ohio, the same weekend, it gets lumped in with the ‘white nationalist’ rhetoric; left out of the coverage is the fact that he was a Leftist atheist who voted for Democrats since he began voting in 2012 (because that doesn’t fit the narrative of right-wing white nationalism).
And so on. (Related: FBI director is focusing his agency more on “white supremacy violence” despite the fact that Left-wing anti-Trump anarchists are committing most of it.)
But many days, the technical equivalent of a mass shooting occurs in portions of crime-ridden cities like Chicago, Baltimore, and Washington, D.C. And yet, we don’t hear about those; they aren’t reported as mass shootings.
In fact, they aren’t reported much beyond the local news at all.
Why? Because the vast majority of these killings are committed by suspects ‘of color.’ And since the Democrat-aligned media is pushing the fabricated narrative of “white nationalist mass shootings,” we can’t have reality creeping in and destroying the straw man.
The damage the establishment media and their Democrat lackeys are doing to the social fabric of our country is horrific and will eventually touch and destroy far more lives than mass shootings. Worse, the genie is out of the bottle and there is no putting it back.
So the only thing left to do is combat the lie with the truth, and in this case, the truth is we don’t have a “white nationalist terrorism” problem in America.
We have a Left-wing media problem. And, we have a ‘truth in reporting’ problem.
