CBS News Bans Reporters From Using the Word 'Transgender' To Describe Transgender Nashville Shooter
[REDSTATE] The tragic shootings in Tennessee this week have unsurprisingly brought out the worst in progressive media. Although three of the victims were children, a fact that should dominate the coverage of such a terrible crime, mainstream outlets have spent an inordinate amount of time lamenting the "increased danger" to transgender

people after learning the shooter identified as transgender.

Now comes word that one outlet actually went so far as to ban news hounds from using the term "transgender" to describe the transgender shooter.

In an exclusive report on Thursday, The New York Post revealed CBS News executives sent out a memo demanding staff purposefully ignore the shooter’s gender identity, even though police indicated her transgender identity was most likely a motivating factor in the shooting spree.

"The shooter’s gender identity has not been confirmed by CBS News," the network’s executives insisted in a Tuesday memo obtained by The Post. "As such, we should avoid any mention of it as it has no known relevance to the crime. Should that change, we can and will revisit."

It should be noted that this is not the standard CBS or any other outlet has ever held in the past when reporting mass murder events. It is typical for mainstream outlets to throw motives and accusations around quite salaciously in the hours following tragedies like the one that unfolded in Tennessee. Sometimes they have even go so far as to highlight the social media of an alleged spree killer, only to later to discover they had identified the wrong person, but far too late to spare the innocent person some very scarring public attention. Suddenly they have a desire to wait for confirmation?

Executives told staff the transgender angle had "no known relevance" but that is completely untrue.

These are the same news industry agents who immediately scour the social media of any white man involved in a mass murder event in order to find out how he votes, in the attempt to link conservative politics to murder.

#5 The link to CBS treatment of Fetterman gives proof of how dishonest they are. He can only read the questions and answers from a screen off camera, and they make 11 edits in his 45 SECOND answer to a single question!

..."Those edits weren’t just made for promotional purposes. They were cuts all made during a single question. Why? Because Fetterman takes time to read his monitor and often loses his train of thought. CBS News, instead of being honest with its audience, is trying to hide that fact."
