There's no shot they got the right dude
Recently saw someone say that dehumanizing people is bad. Personally I think the media should stop humanizing monsters. After all, thats all Luigi was doing, killing monsters.
We aren't dehumanizing the CEOs, they're doing that themselves. They put money over people's lives and we'll being every fucking day. I almost died because my insurance fu ked around with approving my insulin last year. Fuck these sons of bitches.
I don't think there's any kind of conspiracy to control the narrative. There are just various corporate media sources each with their own bias.
Washington Post is owned by a billionaire, so it's naturally going to run pro-billionaire, anti-billionaire-killer articles.
Reddit is desperate to avoid controversial things as it tries to survive going public. It wants to be the place people go for cute pictures of cats, funny memes, celeb interviews, etc. If someone like Elon Musk threatens to put them in the MAGA hate spotlight, they'll do whatever they can to avoid that. They rightly think they don't need to care about users anymore. People who stuck around after they effectively killed the API and after all the mods went on strike will stick around for anything. They have to care about advertisers now, and advertisers want to advertise next to safe things.
The NY Times is just a very old, very small-c conservative newspaper. They don't want to disrupt the status quo. The higher-ups at the NY Times are likely to show up at the same dinner party as Brian Thompson, so he's the one they sympathize with.
As for TMZ, all they care about is clickbait. If a CEO freaked out and gunned down a random person on the street, they'd just as happily make some tawdry movie about that too.
If this were some kind of concerted effort to control the narrative, they wouldn't publish info that went against that narrative. But, when there were hints that the cops might have screwed up the evidence gathering procedures at the crime scene, almost every major news outlet jumped on that story too.

Thank you. Occams razor. It's no surprise that rich assholes would be aligned on this by pure circumstance.
So we need copy cat Luigi's?
Probably need the whole smash ultimate team
Just say copies. Why do you have to drag cats into this?
More than one way to skin a billionaire.
Copy dogs is a great alternative.
I double dog dare you
1up mushrooms
Double cherry! Make many copies, slay many koopalings.
you're free to do whatever you think that is, but it is uncouth to encourage others
I don’t think they’re getting the message. Maybe it needs to be re-sent?
Need to Cc more CEOs
BCC for more impact
And from Reddit to the New York times and TMZ, it's absolute bullshit, and nobody is fooled.
Big corporations can eat a barge of leper dicks.
With RFK at the helm, they won't need to import the leper dicks. They'll be home grown soon enough
Obviously the audience here ain't gonna fall for these clown tricks but they do work on the normie stream watching TV and jerking corporate socials.
i've seen it. it's so wild. people who were on board with him slowly losing their sympathies for him to fall in line with what the ruling class because cbs and nbc said the feds have strong evidence he's a terrorist otherwise they wouldn't have asked for the death penalty
Show those people After Midnight (Taylor Tomlinson😍) or Have I Got News For You (Amber Ruffin😍). The audience on these shows is thirsty af for Luigi.
Yet at the same time comedy shows like to splash a little Luigi inside jokes, since the audience is different. Reminds me of when The Daily Show was the only legitimate news source back in the Bush era
Total TILF.
Really a matter of perspective. Of course this system is going to label somebody who is a threat as a terrorist. Guess I like some terrorists now. I’m good with that.
During World War 2, the nazi called terorists peoples we latter called resistants. So loving some terorists is nothing new.
Terrorists are whoever's losing, be that in the conflict or public opinion.
Luigi 💯
Don't
The magazines at the grocery store checkout vary between “”how could this happen?!” and “He’s a cold blooded murderer”
And my parents, who watch MSNBC constantly, think he’s scary
Of course the shooter is scary he didn’t just look in the face of their gods and smile, he straight up made the “immortal” mortal
MSNBC da Guillotine
Water is wet.
That's actually a good summary.
