The lightbulb is starting to go off at CNN? Or am I too optimistic?

VERY hesitantly, Kasie Hunt said that it doesn't look like the suspect is transgender. John Miller, the law enforcement analyst, said that those reports were preliminary and seemed to pooh-pooh them.

Funny, I seem to remember LOTS of speculation that the shooter was trans both on CNN and MSNBC.

So I guess corporate media may grudgingly back off the trans rumor, but they are clinging tightly to the far left one as far as I can see.

From the very first moment, this was used as a vilifying factor, not an identifying factor. It’s completely bogus even to say it looks as if the killer is not trans.
