8 major news outlets that chose not to report on the Cincinnati mob attack

Violent Incident in Cincinnati Amid Music Festival

On the night of July 26th, a chaotic scene unfolded in downtown Cincinnati following the Cincinnati Music Festival. Video footage that’s gone viral captures a white man being brutally attacked by a group, primarily made up of African Americans. The man is seen being punched, kicked, and restrained by several assailants, while some bystanders appear to support the attackers.

During the turmoil, his partner, a white woman, attempts to navigate through the crowd to assist him. Tragically, she is also punched, leading to her being knocked unconscious on the ground.

A police report regarding the incident is forthcoming, but early indications suggest that the attack might be racially motivated. Major media outlets – including CNN, ABC, CBS, The New York Times, The Washington Post, MSNBC, NPR, and the Associated Press – have notably overlooked the story, resulting in claims of a media blackout concerning its racial implications.

In response to the incident, one commentator remarked, “I haven’t seen this reported on any left-leaning news channels,” suggesting that the narrative was being suppressed. Another pointed out the inconsistencies in how such events are portrayed, posing a hypothetical scenario where the races of the parties involved are switched.

Cincinnati Police Chief Teresa Tegge described the attackers’ actions as “cruel and absolutely unacceptable,” framing it as “a sudden interpersonal conflict following a verbal altercation.”

However, uncertainties linger about whether the words exchanged truly justify the violent actions that followed. The commentator expressed confusion regarding the incident’s violent turnaround and the reactions it prompted.
