The BBC is still blithely ignoring the terrorism angle as much as possible when reporting the killings in San Bernardino….apparently the significant fact is that the massacre was by a ‘husband and wife’…..
Officials say a husband and wife shot dead 14 people and wounded 21 in the city of San Bernardino.
The Married Couples of Britain lobby group are complaining of marriagephobia and the profiling of married couples as terorrists.
How does the BBC manage to miss this?…

Whilst religion doesn’t get a mention as a motive for the killings the BBC are quick to jump on politicians who ‘pray’ for the victims…oh look…it’s Republican politicians who get the BBC’s malign attention….

After a mass shooting, politicians ‘shamed’ for offering prayers
It’s political boilerplate to offer “thoughts and prayers” to the victims of violence, and the majority of Republican presidential candidates took this approach after a shooting in California left 14 people dead and more injured.
On the other hand the Democrats get the seal of approval for using the opportunity to mention gun crime….despite this obviously being somewhat different to the usual…
Democrats Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders went a different route, and made statements about gun policy. “I refuse to accept this as normal. We must take action to stop gun violence now,” wrote Clinton.
