Last month, 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska was murdered on the North Carolina lightrail system in Charlotte.
Decarlos Brown Jr., a 34-year-old with a long criminal history, has been charged with stabbing Zarutska multiple times, killing her.
As the Daily Mail noted, “the shocking story is notably absent from U.S. liberal media sites, including the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, the Associated Press and CNN.”
Reuters, PBS, and NPR also have had zero coverage of the murder.
[Update: President Donald Trump mentioned Zarutska’s murder in remarks he made at the Museum of the Bible on Monday: “We’re all people of religion, but there are evil people. And we have to confront that. I just give my love and hope to the family of the young woman who was stabbed in Charlotte by a madman.”[Also on Monday, Fox News Digital reported that GoFundMe said that it removed multiple fundraising campaigns created on behalf of the accused killer.[“GoFundMe’s Terms of Service explicitly prohibit fundraisers for the legal defense of anyone formally charged with a violent crime. Consistent with this long-standing policy, all fundraisers for Decarlos Brown Jr.’s legal defense have been removed from the platform, and any donors have been fully refunded,” a company spokesperson told Fox News Digital.
[According to information reviewed by Fox News Digital, the campaigns were taken down within hours of being flagged.]
“Democrat Mayor of Charlotte Vi Lyles suggested that some publishers chose not to share the footage ‘out of respect for Iryna’s family’ – but the police force she is in charge of made the video public first of all,” the Daily Mail added.
The Gateway Pundit’s Jordan Conradson summed up the liberal media’s silence:
“Let’s imagine a hypothetical scenario where a White male did the same thing to a foreigner from any country– but for the sake of this hypothetical, let’s say a black nation. Would the liberal media refrain from covering the situation out of respect for the family? Probably not.
“Regardless of the circumstances surrounding the incident, if it were a White Male and a Black female– or any other non-white race, for that matter– the news would cover this as a hate crime or some other awful act against a so-called minority. This would even be true in Charlotte, North Carolina, where the White population barely outnumbers the Black population, or even somewhere like Baltimore, where the Black population more than doubles Whites.
“They are obsessed with sensationalist headlines, except when it’s the inconvenient and more likely narrative of a Black person killing a White person.”
