Right-wing media reacted in lockstep to deny that the shooter was motivated by white supremacy.

Understood as it actually happened, Owen was part of a media ecosystem that was desperate to deny that the Alan shooter was a guy with Nazi tattoos who was motivated by the same ideology that underlies their worldview. One of the headlines, particularly on social media after the shooting, was that the guy had Nazi tattoos and Owen felt self-conscious about this. The right-wing dipshit media reacted in lockstep with each other, desperately pushing other explanations for the shooting that didn't touch on the possibility that white supremacy is a real thing.

Alex Jones and Glenn Beck reacted personally to the Jack Swagger storyline because they believed the exaggerated beliefs portrayed.

One, they took it personally. Deep down, they knew that the things that Jack Swagger and Zeb Coulter in their characters, the things that they were exaggerating and parodying, were actually things that they themselves believed. And they took the presentation of Swagger as the bad guy for holding those beliefs as a personal criticism.

Mainstream media outlets like the New York Times and CNN understand The Watchmen film but claim they do not.

And then I Googled reviews of it, and most reviews for the Watchmen are saying, we don't understand it. You know, the New York Times and CNN, we don't get the ending of the movie. We don't understand it. I don't believe that for a minute. They understand it all too well.
