Because most major news outlets are either ignoring this story or at least paying no attention to its obvious racial angles, there’s something grimly symbolic in the fact that Flanagan’s victims were a reporter and her cameraman. The major media’s tendency over the last couple generations has been to sculpt a racial narrative where whites are always to blame and blacks always have an excuse. According to The Script, Dylann Roof is fully responsible for his crimes, whereas in Flanagan’s case, society is to blame.
