Less than 24 hours after Toronto van terror suspect Alek Minassian allegedly deliberately mowed down pedestrians Monday afternoon, leaving 10 dead and 15 injured, he’s already being mainstream media-described as a “socially awkward tech expert”.
Is the mainstream media trying to portray Minassian, 25, as a mentally disturbed individual rather than a terrorist?
“Canadian Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale said he does not believe the attack was linked to terrorism. Federal mounted police are not involved in the investigation, also making a terror connection unlikely.” (Daily Mail, April 23, 2018)
