The Patriot Post® · Newspaper Assumed Woman Used Gun to Maim and Kill
An Oklahoma woman could be charged with four counts of second-degree murder for allegedly ramming her car into a crowd of people at the homecoming parade at Oklahoma State University. But a newspaper in another state mistakenly pinned the incident of mass death and injury on the Leftmedia’s favorite pariah — guns. “Shooter kills 4; 30 injured,” a daily newspaper in Michigan, the Traverse City Record-Eagle, wrote atop a wire story of the incident that ran in its Oct. 25 edition. “Because of a page designer’s error,” the paper posted on its website that afternoon, “a misleading headline appeared on page 3A in Sunday’s Record-Eagle accompanying a story about a driver who struck and killed four people at the Oklahoma State University homecoming parade on Saturday.” This mistake seems to be in a similar vein to the infamous “Dewey Defeats Truman” headline that the Chicago Tribune ran on the eve of Truman’s victory in the 1948 elections. The paper must go out, and someone probably prepositioned a headline before the whole story came in. But the headline was never changed as the edition headed out to the press. It reveals the Leftmedia’s assumptions whenever a mass casualty incident occurs. Cars can kill too.
