It highlights how NPR focused on the gender pronouns used to refer to the shooter rather than the motives revealed in westman&#8217;s videos and journals, which pointed to mental illness and hatred toward various groups, including Christians and Jews. During an interview with Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar, NPR corrected her use of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/congress-has-officially-gone-gender-crazy\/\" title=\"Congress Has Officially Gone ... Crazy\">male pronoun<\/a>, emphasizing uncertainty about the shooter&#8217;s gender identity, which sparked criticism and mockery on social media. The piece criticizes NPR&#8217;s approach as politicized and overly focused on gender sensitivity amidst a tragic event, linking it to broader complaints about media bias and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/weak-government-complicit-media-silicon-valley-are-torching-america\/\" title=\"Weak Government, Complicit ..., Silicon Valley Are Torching America\">woke ideology<\/a>.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>It&rsquo;s good to see that NPR is focused on what&rsquo;s really important when it comes to the Minneapolis Catholic school shooting: whether or not a Democrat is using correct pronouns for the deceased shooter.<\/p>\n<p>Robin Westman, a male born as Robert Westman, was the 23-year-old who killed two students during a rampage Wednesday at Annunciation Catholic School before killing himself.<\/p>\n<p>The transgender-identifying male left behind <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/deep-dive-eight-disgraceful-ways-nyt-fraudulently-covered-trans-school-shooter\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">extensive videos and journal entries<\/a> that gave obvious motives for the killing &mdash; namely, mental illness and a litany of hatreds, particularly against Christians and Jews.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the media more or less was focused on being as politically correct as possible, particularly when it comes to the nation&rsquo;s major public radio broadcaster.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking with Minnesota Sen.
