    What do you see so different about the coverage by MSN vs Fox? Both articles stated that he supports both political parties. I think the coverage was pretty consistent.

    This is kind of interesting. First the original idea of the topic is worth talking about. My wife and I were talking about this last week, how two different news outlets can cover the same story "factually" but use completely different adjectives leaving a distinctly different impression.

    Then there's this story itself. OP was the first I've heard of it, and now I see it on all my conservative friends Facebook feed. It's really quite fascinating. We have no suspect or motive, but it's being held up as some sort of evidence that BLM or the MSM don't really care about black lives, etc. I find it both weird and fascinating.
