From the New York Times, about the Catholic school shooting in Minnesota:

Ms. Westman, 23, lived in a three-story brick building in a complex in Richfield, a suburb just south of the church… As a 17-year-old, she filed a court document to change her first name, to Robin from Robert. It was also signed by her mother. The document noted that Ms. Westman “identified as female and wants her name to reflect that identification.”

On social media, some conservative activists have seized on the shooter’s gender identity to broadly portray transgender people as violent or mentally ill… The right-wing uproar over Ms. Westman’s gender identity echoed the politicized reaction to a 2023 mass shooting at The Covenant School in Nashville, which was carried out by a former student whom the police said was transgender… In a news conference, Mayor Jacob Frey of Minneapolis, a Democrat, urged the public to avoid scapegoating transgender people…

The Times in “The Minneapolis suspect knew her target, but the motive is a mystery” did what news organizations are supposed to do, settling a controversy by telling us a mass shooter “identified as female” in a court document. But the paper was so afraid of conclusions its audience might draw that it surrounded its report with layer after layer of messaging. They strained to put “her” in the headline, referred to those who paid attention to the gender issue as “right-wing” and “conservative activists,” and told you Jacob Frey, “a Democrat,” urged against scapegoating. All this, while insisting others “politicized” the shooting. It’s the most glaring example I can remember of a news organization apologizing for its own reporting.

Walter and I will be talking about it on America This Week, but the degree to which news outlets seemingly as a primary coverage goal are scolding readers into not paying attention to true details has been extraordinary. Apologies for the brief note, but having just come up for air after spending time on a different story, I wanted to express shock. Apparently not even the most awful violence derails the narrative model.

GREG GUTFELD: This is why none of these a-holes can lecture anyone on compassion. The most compassionate people on this planet are trying to stop the trans delusion. The least compassionate are the people in the media, academia, and politicians who enable this hysteria of horror.

What is so glaring about the trans cult: apparently your identity is the only thing that matters—until you do something awful. Then it’s the least important variable. Then you look at everything else. You talk about guns. But suddenly, we can’t talk about that.

What was it? The other trans shooter where they actually hid her identity? In this manifesto that this creep wrote, he said he was tired of being trans, and that he had wished he had never brainwashed himself. What more do you need—straight from the monster’s mouth?

Politicians, activists, teachers—you built this. You could have listened to the warnings. We were talking about this on the show for years. You amplified the hysterical—hysterical, literally hysterical—phenomenon that was going no place good. You created a poisonous program that twisted young minds for destruction.

It’s a nihilistic place to be, when you deny biology and they have nowhere to go. So all of these media arguments—what you are seeing there among those people—it is to escape their own culpability and the reality they created.

Forget the layer of mental illness and gun control. The origin of evil, the evil lies in the creation of a mindset that indulged a delusional self, rupturing connections with fellow human beings. So that trans identity, by ascribing an extreme aggrieved mentality, then gets directed against society—so this person feels justified in killing children. His killing resulted from that ideology.

And if you don’t believe that, you are one dumb asshole.

A man pretending to be a woman murdered two children and injured 17 others while they attended Mass at a Catholic church in Minneapolis last week. Many “journalists” covering the tragedy have done their best to downplay or even conceal facts about the perpetrator’s identity that are relevant to this anti-Christian act.

The word “transgender” doesn’t appear in many of the online articles by the likes of CNN, MSNBC, Politico or the New York Times. The Gray Lady even claims ignorance of any motive for the despicable deed while taking care to refer to the assailant as Robin Westman using the pronoun “her.”

“Since she identifies as a female and wants her name to reflect that identification, it’s now Robin Westman,” CNN host Jake Tapper solemnly intoned on his show.

It’s strange for institutions that preach about the overriding importance of self-identification to choose to withhold identity-related details that shed light on an unthinkable crime. Here, there’s no mystery about what fueled the hatred.

The gunman left a manifesto announcing hostility toward Donald Trump and Christianity. “Where is your God” and “Kill Trump Now” were written on the implements of malevolence that fired through a window at defenseless students gathered in prayer.

This is not the first incident involving a gender-swapping assassin. The 2018 shooting in Aberdeen, Md., the 2019 shooting in Denver, and the 2023 shooting in Nashville were perpetrated by individuals posing as members of the opposite sex.

Mental illness is a common theme in these monstrous offenses. A National Institute of Justice review of 172 multiple homicides from 1966 - 2019 found “nearly all persons who engage in mass shootings were in a state of crisis in the days or weeks preceding the shooting.”

It’s entirely possible those crises were at least in part accelerated by chemical cocktails. As a Food and Drug Administration scientist wrote in an internal 2022 email: “We did find increased risk of depression and suicidality” among children using puberty blockers.

Yet these ideologically driven researchers didn’t care about the enhanced potential for violence among those using these substances. “[T]here is definitely a need for these drugs to be approved for gender transition, as they are typically not covered by insurance and are expensive out of pocket,” the FDA researcher continued.

America First Legal obtained those government communications last month after it filed a lawsuit seeking clarity on how such drugs were approved on President Joseph R. Biden’s watch. Having this information is critical for the public to evaluate what should be done to address societal problems that result in disturbed individuals lashing out against the innocent.

In many cases, a significant slice of the electorate only hears half the story. Whenever someone from one of the left’s most privileged classes of “victims” commits a crime, compliant media outlets quickly move on to something — anything — else. They bury inconvenient findings and encourage parents to overlook the warning signs. That’s a dangerous habit.

First Lady Melania Trump offered advice to prevent future horrors on X. “The tragic mass killing in Minnesota illuminates the need for pre-emptive intervention in identifying potential school shooters. Early warning signs are often evident, with many individuals exhibiting concerning behaviors and making violent threats online prior to their actions,” she wrote.

Instead of affirming the choices of troubled young minds, we need to adopt a more sensible stance toward mental illness that recognizes the reality of biology.

It was a tragedy that struck the hearts of Americans across the country: Young children, praying in pews, became the victims of a mass shooting in Minneapolis. Two, aged 8 and 10, are dead, with 18 others injured.

The shooter, who took his own life, has been identified as Robin Westman, but was born Robert Paul Westman. The monster who premeditatively shot at children in a church was a biological male. But don’t tell that to CNN’s Jake Tapper and contributor Juliette Kayyem, who bent over backward not to offend the transgender late murderer (emphasis mine).

MEDIA AND POLITICIANS SIDESTEP OBVIOUS MOTIVE IN MINNEAPOLIS MASSACRE

“The Minneapolis Star Tribune says, according to court records, because there’s been some confusion about what the shooter’s name was,” Tapper explained after the shooting. “Robin Westman’s mother applied to change her child’s name in 2019. It was at one point ‘Robert Paul Westman.'”

“But since she identifies as a female and wants her name to reflect that identification [and] was underage, it’s now Robin Westman,” he respectfully continued, as applying the “proper” pronouns here apparently are more important than the crime or the victims.

“It appears, based on our reporting, that he had ties, or that the assailant had ties to the school, both because she or they went there or because the mother went there,” Kayyem later carefully noted while nearly needing a chiropractor on set from all the politically correct twisting. “That now tells me that’s why they knew … what the school looked like.”

This is CNN.

But here’s the thing about this biological male: He wrote before the shooting that he regretted being transgender.

“I only keep [the long hair] because it is pretty much my last shred of being trans. I am tired of being trans, I wish I never brain-washed myself,” he said in a handwritten note before the shooting.

“I can’t cut my hair now, as it would be an embarrassing defeat, and it might be a concerning change of character that could get me reported. It just always gets in my way. I will probably chop it on the day of the attack,” he added.

It was later reported that this sick individual used a photo of Jesus Christ for target practice.

If we had actual journalism anymore, ABC/CBS/NBC/CNN, the New York Times, Washington Post, and Minnesota Star Tribune would do deep dives into just how many transgender individuals under the age of 20 regret making such a monumental decision without fully understanding the possible mental consequences of an irreversible, life-changing decision.

Instead, all of the aforementioned networks and publications referred to Westman as “she” or “her,” while their opinion sides all bemoaned so-called “right-wing media” for even broaching the fact that Westman was transgender and clearly mentally ill as a result of a gender transition. Both factors are entirely relevant, and to broach them isn’t being transphobic; it’s an honest attempt to analyze what led to this horrific tragedy.

And for what it’s worth, Westman’s mother, who fully supported her 19-year-old son to transition, is not cooperating with authorities to the point that she recently hired a criminal defense attorney. Why is that?

As for the Trump White House, it reportedly has ordered the NIH to study “regret” and “detransition” among children who have transitioned, according to an internal memo leaked to NPR back in April.

“This is very important to the President and the Secretary,” the memo says. “They would like us to have funding announcements within the next six months to get this moving.”

Good.

Meanwhile, former CNN reporter Oliver Darcy showed once again that the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree in his Media Matters-inspired newsletter while scolding some outlets for correctly labeling the shooter as transgender.

“AGAIN: TRANS SHOOTS UP MINNEAPOLIS CATHOLIC SCHOOL.” That was the banner splashed across Breitbart’s homepage Wednesday evening, a reflection of the anti-trans narrative flowing through right-wing media after a shooter opened fire on Catholic school children during mass,” Darcy begins in comments first flagged by the Media Research Center.

“Much of the coverage was fixated on the shooter’s gender identity, casting trans people as inherently dangerous. Indeed, the goal seemed to be to take the suspect’s heinous actions and weaponize them into an indictment of an entire community.”

The question ultimately is this: Should those who are transgender be eligible to purchase firearms? Because if someone is so unwilling to accept themselves for who they are (in this case, a young man) to the point they believe changing genders will cure their ills, should that be considered a mental disorder? And if so, does that therefore disqualify them from owning potentially deadly weapons?

In this case, Kash Patel’s FBI is classifying this as an anti-Catholic hate crime.

Patel said Westman left “multiple anti-Catholic, anti-religious references” written on guns and in notes, according to FBI investigators.

“Subject expressed hatred and violence toward Jewish people, writing Israel must fall, ‘Free Palestine,’ and using explicit language related to the Holocaust,” Patel added in a post on X, while also sharing that Westman also had called for President Donald Trump to be killed.

Speaking of the president, let’s explore the worst of the worst when it comes to coverage of this shooting. Not surprisingly, it comes from ABC News, a division run by Kamala Harris’s BFF Dana Walden.

Correspondent Adam Katersky appeared on the network shortly after the shooting to lamely attempt to connect the shooter with President Donald Trump in the most blatant example of the bias of omission seen in some time.

Katersky: “23-year-old Robin Westman was able to leave what police called a video manifesto that they’re now going through to try and establish motive. There are also photos of the weapons, and they include all sorts of writings: the names of past mass shooters, criticism of Israel, and the name of President Trump written on the guns.”

Wow. So Katersky is essentially saying that Westman was such a fan of Trump that he inscribed his name on his weapon the same way the United States military sometimes does on bombs before they’re dropped on an enemy? What a development!

Except, of course, Katersky is knowingly leaving out a very key part of the story that Westman had literally inscribed “Kill Donald Trump” on his rifle.

He decided not to mention that Westman also declared —

“Israel must fall.”

“Burn Israel.”

“Six million [Jews] wasn’t enough.”

Thankfully, we live in a world of social media that does not allow this gutter journalism to go unchecked.

“The name of

President Trump written on the guns” without mentioning that the message was “k*ll Donald Trump,” wrote popular radio host and podcaster Vince Cogianese on X.

“WTF is wrong with these people!???” wrote Donald Trump Jr. to his 15 million followers on X.

“So irresponsible. An obvious lie,” said Fox News contributor Mary Katharine Ham to her large following on X.

Of course, Katersky was not reprimanded, nor has he apologized for the obvious omission. Without accountability, the Katerskys of the world will continue to push false or misleading narratives with no consequences, which is why trust in legacy media continues its descent into irrelevance.

Children praying in their pews were shot at in Minneapolis. Two were killed, and seventeen injured or wounded are expected to survive. Thank God.

The New York Times also beclowned itself with the following headline:

“Minneapolis Suspect Knew Her Target, but Motive Is a Mystery.”

“Her” target. Uh-huh. Motive is a mystery? Anti-Catholic hate driven to the point of taking out kids as young as eight years old while praying? Enough of this already.

W. JAMES ANTLE: THE UGLY POLITICAL DIVIDE OVER THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS

But legacy media decided to try to exploit yet another atrocious tragedy to separate the country between good and bad.

The irony is that the bad part includes the very entity that is journalism, which is supposed to be here to inform and not divide us as Americans.
