Or: You Really Don't Hate The Media Enough.
The murder of Iryna Zarutska occurred on August 22 and its been only on mainly conservative sites where it has been getting coverage as the video of the murder was leaked until just now.
The dam finally broke today and a slew of mainstream sites are finally covering it weeks later (note the datestamps of times of the stories in the Google search - mainly coming out today and indeed within hours before this post) with much of the coverage being about the accusation that the lack of coverage has been politicized by MAGA types (yes, really) as the story spread while leftist and mainstream media sources blithely failed to cover it at all.
So, why did the media not cover a story of a mentally-ill man killing an innocent woman?
Well, of course there's the racial angle, Black man killing White female is double-plus-ungood to mention, especially as there's no domestic violence angle to play here where you can blame western patriarchal family structures.
After all, Black on White violence is indeed Dog-Bites-Man to the mainstream media and statistically is the norm compared to White on Black violence.
It's a further issue not worthy of coverage as it goes directly against the left's soft on crime initiatives including no cash bail and releasing people on the happy belief criminals and mentally ill criminals at that, will show up in court on their own after being charged with violent crimes. he had been arrested and released 13 14 times prior to the murder, with the most recent release just before it took place with zero bail to reappear on his latest charge.
This also took place on mass transit in a Democrat controlled city. Democrats love their mass transit and prefer to gloss over the crime that occurs on it. And, it's in a Democrat city with soft on crime policies - so much so that the mayor in talking about the crime was more concerned and gave more time to the fact that the perpetrator had been homeless and the bromides of root causes than the fate of the victim.
On top of that, mentally ill people attacking innocents in public is commonplace, par for the course, and not to be remarked upon by the media progressives. After all, they have pushed for deinstitutionalization and hold the charming belief that the mentally ill just see the world differently from the rest of us.
Indeed, they do.
Quite simply, unless the mentally ill person uses a gun and shoots up a school or a crowd so the media and progressives can use it to promote gun bans, they're simply not interested.
So, this story had all the reasons why the mainstream media didn't want to touch it with a 10-foot pole until they were forced to do so:
An attractive and wholly innocent white victim, who was a refugee no less; a Black perpetrator who was mentally ill and had a violent criminal record a mile long who was let out to roam free again and again until he finally killed someone; and it taking place on public transit.
No wonder the media didn't want to talk about it until they were forced to do so.

If it were me, I'd also charge the attorney and the judge who kept 'continuing' the case long enough for him to murder her.
Yep, and after 14 arrests with the last one with no cash bail, the list of people who let this go on is rather long.
Oh it gets even better.
The magistrate responsible for releasing him 14 times is Teresa Stokes.
She is also the operations director for Pinnacle mental illness recovery center.
Where he was sent 14 times.
Was she making bank on him?
