NO, BUT THEY’RE CENSORING ANY CORRECTIONS: Media outlets labeled the Buffalo shooter a right winger. Was that accurate?

Here are five ideas from the Buffalo supermarket shooter’s writings that are not mainstream Republican ideas viewers find on Fox News:

The writings indicate that the shooter is a fan of “green nationalism,” which he calls “the only true nationalism.” Radical green ideas are far more popular on the left than on the right.

The documents also attack libertarianism and beloved right-leaning thinkers such as Ludwig von Mises, Ayn Rand and Milton Friedman.

Though the media attempted to tie the shooter to Tucker Carlson, the killer’s alleged postings mention Carlson exactly zero times. He cited Fox News just once — in an anti-Semitic infographic claiming the outlet is controlled by Jews.

The rants support “worker ownership of the means of production,” which is an idea straight out of Karl Marx’s and Friedrich Engel’s “Communist Manifesto.” It is most certainly not something espoused by a typical Fox News viewer.
The published screeds also explicitly say he is not a conservative. The posts rip conservatism as “corporatism in disguise” and declare he wants “no part of it,” blaming Republican ideology for “the ever-increasing wealth of the 1%.” That rhetoric is a common refrain of the left, not the right.

A full reading of the words attributed to the Buffalo supermarket shooter make it clear that whatever his views might have in common with Tucker Carlson’s, his warped ideology is complicated by ideas that are commonplace among Democrats and often found on liberal media outlets.

David Mastio of Straight Arrow News reports: “Instagram and Facebook both refused to host the video – Instagram took it down and sent us a nastygram saying our video promoted violence.”
