We disagree about how the media should cover this. I was clear about my view on why it's irresponsible to draw a link in the service of "providing context" or "just asking the question". It's in every story on this. The implication is unavoidable and, I think, probably wrong.
I could be wrong, of course. New evidence could come out that this was in fact another Dallas. It's just not there yet, and trying to get in front of the facts is a problem with the way media reports on these incidents. It's bad for the public discourse.

Show one example of the media doing what you are accusing them of.

I didn't accuse them of calling BLM a terrorist organization. I said they were reporting as if there was a link there, and that the public has taken that and run with it. Read facebook or reddit, see the thousands of comments taking for granted that this is Dallas all over again. That's not surprising when the media reports in this manner, and in my view, it's irresponsible.
So no, it's not "just in my head", but thanks for the snark... have I been clear enough yet? Do you understand my perspective on this or do I need to repeat it for a third time using different words?
