And talking points repeatedly brought up by BLM were directly brought up by other attackers. So what?

No, but most media outlets do use the same techniques, whatever their stance or affiliation.

The NY Post has broken news that most outlets you might call "higher quality" denied for months before finally admitting they were true. Might I suggest reading a variety of sources, including some you disagree with?
And if you think, say, the NY Times doesn't engage in these tactics, read some of their recent coverage of Tucker Carlson.
Edit: This was interesting, but HN isn't the appropriate place for long back and forth debates. You can have the last word.
Again, the Buffalo shooter didn't merely "bring up" white replacement theory some time in their life; they said this implicitly violent ideology was their motivation for murder.
I didn't mention Tucker Carlson, but talking points repeatedly brought up on his show were directly brought up in the Buffalo shooter's manifesto.
how the media uses tragedy to demonize a political position
"The media" is not a monolith. That appears to be a tactic of low quality outlets like the NY Post. I suggest consuming higher quality outlets.
