JOHN CHUCKMAN COMMENT: THE SLEAZY USE OF A HORRIBLE MASS KILLING TO MAKE A PROPAGANDA POINT - DONE MANY TIMES BY THE PRESS AND RARELY CHALLENGED


COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE BY KEVIN DOUGHERTY IN THE INDEPENDENT


"Quebec Mosque shooting suspect was a fan of Donald Trump and Marine le Pen”

This is just completely irresponsible, Independent editors.

A man murders people for reasons we know nothing about - although to any well-informed person, such acts first suggest an unbalanced mind at work - and you connect it with his political position!

How about his religion?

Oh, I forget you've done that many times before, especially where Muslims are doing the killing.

How about his tastes in literature?

God, for all we know he's been reading the Bible, especially that Old Testament which is just packed with violence and hatreds.

Maybe he goes to bad movies or plays too many violent computer games?

Then, on the other hand, maybe he just was reading too many confusing newspapers like The Independent?

I really have to say this approach to a horrific crime stinks, and stinks really badly.
