1. But the corporate media are still pushing the narrative

of "law & order" and cannot fathom how the public might see both sides of this story.

2. Well said. People are angry and this murder has brought this issue to the national narrative.

3. 100% of the corporate media people we see on screen

are very well paid, and 100% of them have good group insurance where the insurers can't deny care because the employers need their high-priced "talent" to be healthy. So they just can't relate to people who have coverage where they are powerless to take on the denials.

These media people are no more capable of understanding this than they can understand what it is like to grow up living in poverty with your grandmother because your mother is on drugs and your father is either unknown or in prison. The idea that millions of people can immediately understand the rage that might drive somebody to shoot a CEO in cold blood is a completely foreign concept to these media people.
