You were saying Jinx?
I don't have to defend any news outlets for covering silly or irrelevant things like FB posts by classmates of Blasey or Kavanaugh. I already stated that.
YOU were the one who picked up the now debunked Fox News tactic of turning Mollie Tibbetts' murder into a circus to deflect attention from Manafort's convictions. Remember THAT sorry little episode? And since then, Mueller has got Manafort by the extreme short hairs.
We should see some interesting developments in the coming weeks. I'll look for honest commentary for them from you, right?
Debunked? An innocent girl being killed by an illegal alien, are you saying this didn't happen? It was a front page story for weeks on every major media site but once they find the actual killer and it's an illegal everyone is just supposed to stop covering it? WOW, the liberal mind strikes again since it was already proven Fox covered Manafort just as much if not more than the other outlets on TV and their website.
Nice try to deflect though. Back to Kavanaugh...
https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2018/09/mollie-tibbetts-celia-barquin-murders-reactions.htmlSeveral weeks after Tibbetts' death, I
owa has been shaken by another brutal murder. The victim this time was Celia Barquin Arozamena, a 22-year-old civil-engineering major at Iowa State and an immigrant champion golfer who had recently won the European Ladies' Amateur Championship, representing her native country of Spain. Barquin had also just played in the United States Women's Open. She
excelled at Iowa State, where she was named Female Athlete of the Year and known as a "
spectacular student-athlete" with a fierce competitive spirit.
A couple of days ago, Barquin, like Mollie Tibbetts had done exactly two months before, set out to exercise. She was playing a round of early-morning golf at Coldwater Golf Links in Ames, Iowa, when a man attacked her somewhere around the ninth hole. Staff discovered her body in a pond, her golf bag lying on the fairway nearby. Barquin had been assaulted and stabbed multiple times in the head, neck, and torso. In the afternoon, local police caught a suspect, Collin Daniel Richards, a 22-year-old homeless man who had been living in an encampment surrounding the golf course. Richards has a long criminal record, including drug abuse and a history of violence against women.While being as horrendous a crime as the killing of Mollie Tibbetts, Celia Barquin's murder has not elicited the same kind of response from America's conservative media or its politicians. There have been no outraged tweets nor indignant segments trying to criminalize all of the homeless community for Richards' atrocious, individual action. President Trump has not bothered to mention the case, even though Barquin's death has been
front-page news in Spain. Of the two senators from Iowa, only Joni Ernst commented on the case. In a
tweet, Ernst made no mention of Barquin's murderer, focusing instead on the victim and the impact the crime had on the local community and her alma mater.
