0:00.0	USA Today reported that the Monterey Park, California shooting left 11 people dead now, has, and this is a quote, revived the fears and trauma of anti-Asian hate for the Los Angeles Asian community.
0:13.8	There are just two tiny little problems with the USA Today's story.
0:18.3	Number one, the killer was Vietnamese, and two, USA Today knew that
0:23.4	before they published that story. Hi, everybody. I'm Steve Green with Scott Ott and Zoe Rachel,
0:31.0	filling in for Bill Whittle this week. Welcome, Zoe. This is Right Angle, brought you by the members
0:34.8	of Bill Whittle.com. Gentlemen, this is one of those stories.
0:37.8	I wrote about this on Monday for PJ Media because, boy, did it get my eye up when I saw
0:42.7	the timestamp on this USA Today story about killer fuels, anti-Asian fears and hate
0:52.0	and all the rest, the timestamp on the story was about 4.45 in the afternoon
0:58.4	on Sunday. This is hours and hours after we knew the identity of the killer. And I'm not going to

1:21.5	this, of course, was not a racial incident. Scott, I don't blame the reporters for getting reactions of people who were there.
1:29.9	That's their job is, one of their jobs is to do that. But I do blame the editors for going with
1:38.8	this false narrative angle hours after they knew that that wasn't the case. What about you? There are a couple of
1:48.9	problems with coverage like this. The first is that the fact that we have 24-7 news
1:55.0	live streams basically now means that the news editors have to fill the time with something even when there's nothing.
2:03.6	So when we don't have any additional information, they quickly tire of simply regurgitating the
2:09.4	basic facts that came out in the initial police press conference and they have to start looking
2:13.5	for other angles. So they go around and interview people who are completely witless about
2:18.5	what happened, even if they were there. They don't know why it happened, who did it, or whatever was
2:23.5	going on. And so then you put that on TV in front of a camera from some traumatized person,
