Episode notes
Media Silence As A Political Signal
- Steven Crowder argues mainstream media downplayed the British Columbia shooting because it didn't fit the gun-control narrative.
- He suggests missing immediate coverage signals the story conflicted with preferred political frames.
Gun Laws Aren't A Complete Explanation
- Crowder argues Canada's strict gun laws undermine the narrative that gun access alone causes mass shootings.
- He uses Canada as evidence that terrorism and other forms of mass violence persist despite heavy regulation.
