I think it's important to recognize that posting a link to project veritas that purports to expose media bias is a display of symptoms likely described in the DSM-IV
The truth or falsehood of a statement doesn't depend on who makes it. In this case the Veritas guys think they've made a valuable contribution to the historical record but they're realy only confirming the blindingly obvious: CNN plays for Team Blue. Shocking, I know. I'm guessing this dude is going to become an unperson at CNN by the end of the week, perhaps accompanied by a press release affirming CNN's commitment to unbiased journalism and denying partisan bias. You'll have to read it tho; no one could say it out loud with a straight face.
As a technical director, Chester operates video editing equipment for the cable network, where he has worked since 2018, according to his now-deleted LinkedIn bio.
It is unlikely that he would have had editorial input at CNN, or participated in the network's daily editorial calls. But Project Veritas argues that he has unique insights on the editorial culture at CNN, in which he would be immersed daily.

Sounds like you are committed and fully engaged in the game. (Good luck with the statistical data backing you up on the random violence part) Good for you.
You know, i've heard shapiro speak a few times from other sources, and he sounded intelligent. But the past couple of posts you've added from his own show (this one and the rant about the grammys) seem a little ridiculous...isn't there something better to discuss, like starting a new republican trend, considering the fact that half of republicans still support trump and believe the capital riot was mostly peaceful or started by leftists?
And this story, Capitol ramming/knife, was on both cbs and nbc national news tonight. Didn't check abc.
I think the problem being pointed out is that the person's ethnicity/religion has been left out of the coverage.

I quit watching after a minute because he only talked about himself. And he's an asshole whenever he speaks.
But the message, crudely made, is peripherally valid. Sure, it's hypocritical to point out when it's a white male "christian" shooter and not carry on about this guy's heritage and religion. But you know as well as I do that MUCH more will be made of another muslim terrorist and it will only serve to inflame tensions and bolster support for war etc. etc. so it does sort of make sense from a lot of points of view to gloss over that.
All that being said, I am confident that 9 out of 10 of the next dozen mass shootings or other random violence in the US will be perpetrated by white guys. So what's Shapiro's point again?
Shapiro's point is that 9 out of 10 of the next dozen mass shootings or other random violence in the US that you hear about will be perpetrated by white guys, and that any act of violence that doesn't reinforce a narrative that there is an epidemic of white supremacist violence perpetrated by white guys will be treated as local news with no national importance. You can hear that...after about the 1 minute mark.
Shapiro can be a dick (and the video may be sped up in this clip because he sounds a little chipmonkie) but that doesn't make him wrong. Our news media is partisan. It's warping perception of social problems and sometimes creating them out of whole cloth. He doesn't mention the role right-wing media plays in this because he plays for team red, but the problem he's pointing out is real.
And no, right-wing media narratives do not negate, counter, or in any way excuse left-wing media narratives. Both are destructive, both are driving the country into tribal conflict. If things go all 1968 on us these narratives will bear most of the blame.
