Very true, I haven't heard a single liberal say David Dorn was a good thing, so in all fairness, I do grant you that. I guess I am just at a loss that the MSM has spent hours upon hours on George Floyd and seconds on David Dorn.
As for downplay, you would have to show me an example then because everytime I ever seen a "downplay through his past" it was in direct response to the MSM saying he was a saint, or the black community painting him as a "model citizen turning his life around."
I will give you an example, one that I think is very popular based on the controversial reaction: Candace Owens ripping George Floyd. Her entire bit is a response to the black community painting him they way they have. He was an angel wrongly stopped and paid with his life. He wasn't randomly stopped and he wasn't going peaceably she says in response. All of it is a response to the sensationalized death the MSM and BLM is giving him. In my normal daily reading, I never found a single "downplay" divorced from this rhetoric. Although, you are free, as always, to prove me wrong.
