US Media: Christians bad, drug trafficking murderers, not so much…
In case you missed the news, earlier this week three women and their six children were killed and five more children were wounded in an attack by members of the Sinaloa drug cartel. The youngest victim was only eight months old.
Here is how major US news sources reported on that massacre:
U.S. victims in Mexico massacre were tied to family with a long history of violence https://t.co/tNUdw20wKx

Yeah, like a century ago.
The brutal killing of 9 members of an American family in northern Mexico on Monday highlights the long history of religious fundamentalist settlers in the region. Our religion reporter, Elizabeth Dias, details their history back to the early 20th century. https://t.co/rfvtzdTN9i

“Fundamentalist settlers” sounds so scary.
The NBC News ran this headline:
Slain U.S. citizens were part of Mormon offshoot with sordid history
The nine U.S. citizens killed in a brutal ambush in Mexico belonged to a fundamentalist Mormon group that had been touched by cartel violence before.
The group was part of the extended LeBaron family, Mormon fundamentalists who first came to Mexico nearly a century ago — when the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Salt Lake City started cracking down on members who were still practicing polygamy.
To escape persecution in the U.S., Alma Dayer LeBaron brought his wives and children across the border to Mexico in 1924 and founded the LeBaron colony in the Mexican state of Chihuahua.
I just want to get this right?
Just after the story of Congresswoman Katie Hill having a “throuple” with her husband and her staffer broke, CBS news ran a story about “consensual non-monogamy.”
We were not supposed to judge Congresswoman Hill’s sexual proclivities because they weren’t hurting anybody. Besides, polyamory/non-monogomy is one of those hip new sexual orientations. What are you, a closed-minded bigot?
Also, the prevailing Leftist opinion is that illegal immigrants who come to the United States should be immediately given every benefit and protection, as well at the right to vote in (for now) local elections.
HOWEVER…
A Mormon sect that practiced polygamy when it entered Mexico 95 years ago are sexually deviant colonial interlopers, who sort of deserved to be massacred by drug traffickers.
My takeaways from all of this are that for the Lefists who work for and read our major news outlets:
Monogamy is bad and having multiple sexual partners after marriage is good. Unless is it polygamy, which is bad because it’s like “super marriage” because you are married to all the different people you have sex with.
Also, observant Christians rank lower on the likeability scale than mass-murdering drug traffickers.
