Let me tell you what happens every single time there’s a major crime. The media doesn’t care about victims. They don’t care about facts. They race to one question: what race can we say the criminal is? This sick pattern hit a new low this week. It showed just how far these networks will go to push their agenda.
Here’s where it gets really crazy. The latest example proves that when reality doesn’t match their story, they’ll just make stuff up. What CNN did during coverage of a deadly New York shooting? It wasn’t just wrong. It was a deliberate lie to trick viewers. And we’ve got the receipts.
From Post Millennial:
CNN was slammed for reporting that New York City shooter Shane Tamura was “possibly white” from initial footage released from the deadly rampage that saw the killings of an NYPD officer and three others.
Some of the first photos online of Tamura showed him walking in the city with the AR-15, and CNN’s Erin Burnett and John Miller said that police knew the shooter had “sunglasses [and] mustache” and that he was a “male” and “possibly white.” However, the photograph showed that Tamura had a darker complexion. Some earlier police reports suggested that he might have been Middle Eastern.
🚨YOU CAN'T MAKE THIS UP!
The man pictured is "likely a White guy," according to the "experts" at CNN.
There is NOTHING about this guy that could be interpreted as White. https://t.co/PalwW0xcsK pic.twitter.com/EHX3kpPCxF

Media’s Race Obsession Exposed
Get this. During breaking coverage of the Manhattan shooting that killed four people, CNN told a whopper. They had clear photos of shooter Shane Tamura. Anyone with eyes could see he wasn’t white. But CNN’s Erin Burnett and John Miller? They told viewers he was “possibly white.” Think that was an accident?
Conservative leaders weren’t having it. Charlie Kirk posted: “Law Enforcement: Here’s multiple pictures of the not white suspect. CNN: ‘They know he is, a male, possibly white. He’s wearing sunglasses.’ Gee, it’s almost like they have an agenda.” Jack Posobiec kept it simple. He just wrote: “Possibly white.” Can you blame him for laughing?
The Real Story They Ignored
But wait, there’s more. While CNN played their race games, they ignored the real hero. NYPD Officer Didarul Islam died protecting people. He was an immigrant from Bangladesh. A four-year veteran. But did CNN care about him? Nope. They were too busy lying about the shooter’s race.
The shooter left a suicide note. He blamed brain damage from high school football. He targeted the NFL headquarters. Early police reports said he might be Middle Eastern. So how did CNN get “white” from that? Simple. They lied.
One viewer nailed it: “He blatantly lied to the viewers. That could be potentially dangerous, by misleading who could be the shooter.” You think? When there’s an active shooter, people need real descriptions. Not CNN’s fantasy version.
This isn’t just bad reporting. It’s dangerous. They do this on purpose. Certain races become targets. Others get protection through creative descriptions. Sound familiar? When reporters care more about their narrative than keeping people safe, we’ve got a problem.
Americans aren’t stupid. We see through this garbage. We know when media outlets twist the truth. Each time they pull this stunt, more people turn them off. They find news sources that tell the truth. Here’s my question: How many more lies before these networks give up and try honest reporting?
Key Takeaways
- CNN described NYC shooter as “possibly white” despite clear photos showing otherwise
- Conservative leaders immediately exposed the network’s agenda-driven racial fabrication
- Media’s race obsession overshadowed fallen officer Didarul Islam’s heroic sacrifice
- Public safety endangered when reporters prioritize narrative over accurate suspect descriptions
