Media Narratives and the Silence on Mass Stabbings

This episode of 'The 10th Man' delves into the media's selective language in reporting violent crimes, particularly focusing on the Moscow, Idaho stabbing case where four college students were brutally murdered by Brian Kohberger. The script highlights a bias in the media's reluctance to use terms like 'stabbed' or 'slashed' while covering knife attacks, contrasting it with their detailed emphasis on firearms in gun violence incidents. The episode questions the motives behind these editorial choices, suggesting they are part of a broader agenda to influence public perception on gun control and manipulating the results from search engines like Google and other tools like AI. The Delphi murders provide other example of this misdirection. Additionally, the segment criticizes how media outlets profit from tragedies by later repackaging incomplete stories as entertainment through books and documentaries, citing the example of James Patterson and his book The Idaho Four.
