Twenty-two days have passed since a racist, antisemitic criminal crashed his SUV into a Wisconsin parade and murdered six people. The networks did not mention Darrell Brooks, the alleged murderer, until after the Waukesha massacre. The story was abandoned by ABC, CBS, and NBC on December 7.
Brooks shared online memes stating that “Hitler was right.” He also hates white people, threatening, “we start bakk knokkin white people TF out. [sic]” Did the networks investigate this? No. No.
ABC was able to do it on the same day. Good Morning AmericaFor CBS, it was CBS MorningsNBC received the last mention on the Nightly News. The networks did not support his bigotry.
Instead, journalists like CBS Mornings host Tony Dokoupil allowed only the barest of details on November 24: “The alleged driver, 39-year-old Darrell Brooks, appeared in court yesterday as well.” Alex Perez promised “details on the suspect accused of plowing his SUV through crowds at a Christmas parade.” He added, “Darrell Brooks shackled in court Tuesday.” But Perez didn’t provide any facts about what might have been the motivation.
The November 24 NBC Nightly News, Megan Megan Fitzgerald stated that “court records reveal more about Darrell Brooks’s alleged actions.” Motive and hate? NBC didn’t have anything.
Below are Brooks’s last mentioned works:
The networks dropped Darrell Brooks’ name on that date (November 24, 2021).
After November 25, CBS completely dropped coverage of the Waukesha murders. The Waukesha killings were last covered by ABC and NBC in December 20, 2021. The act of murder seemed to have become self-driving by that point. This was on the 7th December Today,Tom Llamas was adamant about the SUV’s behavior:
Dancing Grannies has been spinning, twirling and winning hearts across Wisconsin for over a century. The beloved troupe of dancers made national headlines just weeks before. An out-of control SUV collided with the Waukesha Christmas Parade.
CBS Mornings previewed the blame-the-car talking point back on November 24. Dokoupil insisted, “There is now a sixth victim after an SUV barreled through a holiday parade.”
Similar attempts to hide the name of Darrell Brooks happened on cable. As the MRC’s Bill D’Agostino reported, CNN stopped mentioning him on November 24 and MSNBC on November 30th.
Brooks has a history of ranting about “fake Jews” and sharing quotes claiming the “negroes are the real children of Israel.” He’s advocated for violence against white people in rage-filled posts. Is there any network involved with all this? You can only assume they simply don’t care about some attacks of hate and terror.
