What I was immediately looking for, and what THIS article glaringly ignores... is Middle Eastern origin.  All their graphs, all their analysis, a read of the article, there's no mention of Middle Eastern, Arab, Muslim, or other Arabian Peninsula/North African/Persian Subcontinental identifiers.  Because that information was glaringly omitted in the instances of the Boston Bombers, the "draw Muhammed" Garland TX shooting, the Fort Hood shooting, and probably others I'm forgetting.

Still, amazed to see this article linked on Drudge given their more left-alignment in the last few years.

There was the one shooting in Southern California where a Middle Eastern couple with AR-15's went into some sort of meeting and shot a bunch of people.  I think it was before 2010, but I am forgetting exactly where. 

Then there is 9/11/01.

Other shooters like the DC sniper were Muslim, but not Middle Eastern.  There have probably been more Middle Eastern mass murderers in Europe than here.

The only white guys that come to mind are the Oklahoma City bombing and Dylann Roof.  Ok City was at least targeting a govt building. 

I saw Asian in the graph on the article.  The only one that comes to mind is the Virginia Tech shooting.

Quote
On December 2, 2015, a terrorist attack, consisting of a mass shooting and an attempted bombing, occurred at the Inland Regional Center in San Bernardino, California. The perpetrators, Syed Rizwan Farook and Tashfeen Malik, a married couple living in the city of Redlands, targeted a San Bernardino County Department of Public Health training event and Christmas party of about 80 employees in a rented banquet room. 14 people were killed and 22 others were seriously injured. Farook was a U.S.-born citizen of Pakistani descent, who worked as a health department employee. Malik was a Pakistani-born green card holder.

After the shooting, the couple fled in a rented Ford Expedition sport utility vehicle (SUV). Four hours later, police pursued their vehicle and killed them in a shootout, which also left two officers injured.

Here is a list of California shootings.

Every time they do this (or... fail to publish, which is so much easier...), the media digs a hole of distrust that is ever deeper and wider.
 
And the progressive believers INSIST that there is nothing wrong. Because for them to admit that there is a bias calls everything into question.
 
The belief system IS a religion, or a substitute for one, and cannot be trifled with by those who wish to be part of the group.
 
The left has managed to get believers into positions of petty power, from HR minions to teachers, and they're not afraid to wield it.

Speaking of bias, try searching with the phrase "motive in subway shooting." Good grief.

I think you are right about the distrust.

I believe I heard the Daily Wire has 600K subscribers or something in that range.

I'd be curious on the numbers for Fox Nation, which would be a closer comparison to CNN+. From what I found, Fox is not releasing numbers at this point. A little searching indicates they average something like 250K downloads per month of the app, which suggests strong numbers.
