#SayHisName Trends After Media Refuse To Report On Alleged Murder Of 5-Year-Old Cannon Hinnant

Intellectually honest people should admit that this story should not be national news. Intellectually honest people should admit that racial motivations should not automatically be assumed. That being said, intellectually honest people should admit that the same standards should apply when a victim is black and the alleged perpetrator is white. It is obvious to anyone with a brain that this is not the standard the mainstream media is using. It is two different rule sets for the same scenario where race is the only variable that changes. It is called hypocrisy, and you're not crazy for taking note of it.

An image is worth a thousand words. If there were no footage, this would have never been a story. Blame that on human nature.

Apparently an image is worth several million words over several days. All of which are wasted. It shouldn't have been a covered story to begin with.

It was trending on Twitter. It was on multiple news sites. Most child murders by neighbors aren't national stories. Why are yall crying about lack of coverage? Also if you are outraged organize a mass protest around the cause. I'm sure that would be covered.


Its hilarious that the "why make everything about race" " something isn't race related without a million pieces of evidence" crowd cry to now about " why are we not making this about race?"

Mainstream media outlets have yet to cover the brutal Sunday night execution of a five-year-old North Carolina boy named Cannon Hinnant, allegedly at the hands of 25-year-old Darius Sessoms, sparking the hashtag #SayHisName to trend on social media Thursday morning.

As The Daily Wire reported on Tuesday, Sessoms, who is black, allegedly walked up to young Hinnant, who is white, and shot him in the head at point-blank range in front of the child’s 7- and 8-year-old sisters.

CNN, NBC, CBS, ABC, and MSNBC, as of Thursday morning, have yet to cover the attack. Fox News has covered the tragic news.

Some have argued that the lack of coverage is because of the races of the victim and the alleged murderer.

Well based on the first post in the thread, it seems as if timing was the whole issue.
The Daily Wire waited 2 days - I guess that is viewed as acceptable by the right.
Fox waited 3 days - I guess that is viewed as acceptable by the right.
Anything beyond 3 days seems to be unacceptable to the right.
I'm just trying to establish the line between acceptable and unacceptable: let's call it 3 days 4 hours and 30 minutes.

But you seem to now be debating how it is being covered and not when.

If the races were reversed the entire western world would know about this. If the media doesn't see a chance to grandstand or virtue signal they want nothing to do with it

Funny how the race of the victim and suspect are left out of this "main stream media" report. Not to mention a lot of other pertinent details.

Its sad.

Why do you guys have to make everything about race?


Isn't that what every single one of you say when any story about racism comes up? Lets hold the same standards now.

I believe the intent is to point out the blatant double standard. This shouldn't be national news, the same way that Arbery, Trayvon, Brown, Floyd shouldn't have been national news.

There is no double standard.

There is also the long history of whites attacking and or murdering black people for racist reasons. The opposite is not true. There is also no audio or video and it wasn't a cop that did it.

Most neighbors killing a kid in the neighborhood don't go national. Sorry that is just the truth. That is a local story.

So full of **** that your eyes are turning brown. Apparently, you're not one of the intellectually honest from my previous post, but we all pretty much knew that already.

What? There is the answer.

It is what it is. If we had a long history of black people lynching white people or there was a black Klan or black sundown towns then you might have a point. There isn't.

Facts are facts.

Lack of coverage and the timing of the coverage don't necessarily mean the same thing.

How its covered is substantially more important and that's where the politics of the media (right and left) jump to which ever agenda suits their purpose.

Word Frequency




rhetorical
(rɪtɔrɪkəl )
1. adjective
A rhetorical question is one that is asked in order to make a statement rather than to get an answer.


The rest of your post is nonsense intended to go off on a tangent while seeming to make some sort of point that has very little to do with what's being discussed.

You didn't give crap about the timeline or anything else other than deflection.

In other words, typical luther.

You gonna be upset when that scumbag gets murdered in prison? Maybe a white scumbag will have the honors. CNN might cover that story.

Things are viewed differently based on perspective, and perspective certainly influences agenda.

Oh Captain Moral Equivalence, please drop the faux outrage and keep up with the argument. We're talking about media coverage of the murder, not the murder itself. The view advanced was that this was not being covered by MSM because of the race of the shooter and the race of the child. That was always a false premise, as AP and US News covered it early on. Now other media outlets, such as CNN, are also reporting on it. Hundreds of kids a year are murdered. Do you think they should all immediately be the lead story on CNN?

This kid wasn't just murdered, he was executed at close range in front of his other young siblings to make some kind of point (not sure what that would be so I won't opine). That doesn't happen every day.

Edit to add:

If this had been a white father who executed his son this would be plastered all over the media right now. The fact a sanitized version of this story is making the rounds only proves the point that the initial lack of, and then begrudging attention in media coverage is both racially and politically motivated.

I know it's hard for you not to become confused when you've got that corn maze thought pattern. I'll have to be better on assuming your participation and how comments will need to be simplified for you to be able to follow and not get lost.
