The guy made multiple posts, which, taken together, made people supposedly consider him as making threats. The journalist here decides to cover this story, but only mention the content of one of his posts, and completely ignoring and not mentioning the contents of the other posts.

Surely the other posts are completely benign and there's nothing of interest in there, right? Surely the journalist had a reason for only reporting on the contents of one of his posts, and not the others, and that choice wasn't intentional in order to present a biased interpretation of reality. Surely.



The other posts were linked in the story. They were your everyday internet meme stuff. No person genuinely thought that this guy was threatening to do a school shooting.

Yes because the sheriff explicitly stated it was the trump quote picture, and nothing else, that got the man arrested, charged and thrown in a cage.

The article even links to the above.

Makes me wonder if you even read the article or already knew what I just said and are being dishonest.
