In any case, CNN once again failed miserably in its pre-facts coverage, jumping the gun like a bunch of amateurs, and reveling in hours of premature shilling with talking heads some of whom insisted that "this is a version of Islam," warning that "the West is finished" because "our civilization is under attack" and that "this attack has Islamist fingerprints all over it."
A micro lesson in the larger pathology of media and its egging on of mass hysteria, for ratings, often free and far from facts.
They were all too happy to endlessly loop an unverified quote from one witness that contradicted testimonies from all other witnesses and eye witness videos, because the lady claimed the shooter yelled "Allahu Akbar." That is all they needed to hear.
But alas, he is an 18 year old Iranian-German kid who acted alone. Not a refugee. Not an immigrant. In fact, a German nationalist who is a hater of refugees and immigrants. He cursed out immigrants. He is German born and raised and yelled "I am German you shitty Turks."
Not a Muslim or at least no connection to religion. In fact, SIX of the 9 he targeted and killed are Muslims and immigrants. This one will sure stump the talking heads who have neatly boxed up narratives.
