Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Not really? The fascists and liberal media have no shame or intellectual consistency. They would highlight what Hasan said about 9/11, claim he advocated for violence, point to pictures of him streaming with a gun in frame, frame him as a radical America hating, white man hating commie and say though violence isn't the answer it's totally understandable why some sweet normal, not at al political killer covered in 1488 and swastika tats would be driven by Hasan's HATE SPEECH into killing him in a fit of passion. (That or they cast it as a senseless killing in the vein of school shooters and nothing to see here folks) They'd slander him like this, cast it like this, and immediately bury his death in the same way they bury and stop talking about school shooting victims within 24 hours.
In a bourgeois press owned reactionary society like the US there is no need for consistency, naked hypocrisy buried under cherry picking, half truths, omissions, and slander buries the truth and pushes forward the desired narrative framing.
At most a few liberals while condemning Hasan in their first breath will call for more gun control and less political violence to which the right will respond with a middle finger and outraged screaming about Charlie Kirk and attempted assassinations on Trump before veering into talking about "violent protestors from the left" who target the "brave" ICE and local police proving the left is the truly violent one. The then cowed liberals will fall bashfully silent and apologize the next day for undermining the tragedy of Charlie Kirk's death.
very accurate
