Quote:The stunning number swept across the Internet within minutes of the news Wednesday that, yet again, another young man with another semiautomatic rifle had rampaged through a school, this time at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High in South Florida.

The figure originated with Everytown for Gun Safety, a nonprofit group, co-founded by Michael Bloomberg, that works to prevent gun violence and is most famous for its running tally of school shootings.

“This,” the organization tweeted at 4:22 p.m. Wednesday, “is the 18th school shooting in the U.S. in 2018.”

A tweet by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) including the claim had been liked more than 45,000 times by Thursday evening, and one from political analyst Jeff Greenfield had cracked 126,000. New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio tweeted it, too, as did performers Cher and Alexander William and actors Misha Collins and Albert Brooks. News organizations — including MSNBC, ABC News, NBC News, CBS News, Time, MSN, the BBC, the New York Daily News and HuffPost — also used the number in their coverage. By Wednesday night, the top suggested search after typing “18” into Google was “18 school shootings in 2018.”

Yeah, it's not 18 school shootings. It's 18 shootings of one kind or another that happened on or near school property.

Still, that is a lot of shooting.

I'd be surprised if there weren't a lot more than 18 just in Chicago "near school property."

Chicago is their own statistical category.

When you say MSM, are you including FOX?

Last I checked, FOX was not apart of the Militant Socialist Movement.

Yeah, I figured that went without explaining. I don't tend to watch either; however, this example along with the Cruz example further proves the MSM can not be trusted and clearly defines its agenda.

So,

A suicide in a car near a skrool parking lot by a 43YO guy is now a “school shooting”?



We have lost our collective f#%%ing minds...

Good grief

I'm not defending the claim, just trying to clarify. But let's not all get self-righteous here. I mean it's not like that bozo Hannity never said anything half true, or Limpbush or any number of conservative sources.
They are all guilty, not just the Main Stream Media, Of which Fox is a part of.

The "18" claim is a flat out lie. However, I agree with you on Hannity. He goes off the deep end quite often and is a reason I rarely watch Fox.
