What we learned from analyzing thousands of stories on the Christchurch shooting
https://www.cjr.org/analysis/christchurch-shooting-media-coverage.php
Interesting, to say the least ...
We coded for compliance with the following best practices:
Don’t publish the shooter’s name.
Don’t link to or publish the name of the forum that the shooter posted on to promote the attacks.
Don’t link to or publish the name of the shooter’s manifesto.
Don’t describe or detail the shooter’s ideology.
Don’t publish or name specific memes linked to the shooter’s ideology.
Don’t refer to the shooter as a troll or his actions as trolling.
Follow the AP guidelines for using the term “alt-right” (contain it within quotation marks or modify it with language such as “so-called” or “self-described”).
Wow, it's like the parable about how when the dragon comes you should close your eyes because then it won't see you.

New Zealand Mosque Chairman Accuses Mossad, 'Zionist Business' of Orchestrating Christchurch Shooting
The chairman of a New Zealand mosque was caught on video telling a rally in the city of Auckland that the Israeli intelligence agency Mossad and “Zionist business” were behind the recent shooting attack on two mosques in Christchurch. Fifty people were killed and dozens more wounded in the attacks on March 15. Australian citizen Brenton Tarrant, a white supremacist, was arrested and charged with the crime.
According to New Zealand news outlet Newshub, the Saturday rally was intended to memorialize the victims of the attacks, but at one point Ahmed Bhamji, chairman of the Mt Roskill Masjid E Umar mosque, stated, “I really want to say one thing today. Do you think this guy was alone? … I want to ask you, where did he get the funding from?” “I stand here and I say I have a very very strong suspicion that there’s some group behind him and I am not afraid to say I feel Mossad is behind this,” he added. A bystander then responds, “It’s the truth. Israel is behind this. That’s right!”
After the video of the speech was posted on Twitter, the New Zealand Jewish community quickly responded. “These conspiracy theories are dangerous lies. They put the Jewish community at risk, at a time of heightened security concerns,” said New Zealand Jewish Council spokesperson Juliet Moses. “Conspiracy theories — particularly the idea that Jews (whether through the Jewish state or otherwise) are a malevolent controlling force in the world — are at the very core of antisemitism.”
Referring to Love Aotearoa Hate Racism, the group that organized the rally, Moses said, “It is unfortunate that they did not appear to put its anti-racism message into practice by challenging or condemning the racism in their midst. We must call out hateful dehumanising language, whatever the source, target, and circumstances, and even when it is not politically expedient to do so,” she admonished. Bhamji himself was contacted by Newshub and proved unapologetic about his remarks. “Mossad is up to all these things,” he stated. “When I talk about Mossad, why should the Jews be upset about it? Give me an answer.”

Man charged with New Zealand mosque attacks gave money to Austrian far-right, chancellor says
3 MIN READ
VIENNA (Reuters) - Austria’s far-right Identitarian Movement received cash from the man charged with killing 50 people in mass shootings at mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand, this month, Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz said on Wednesday.
“We can now confirm that there was financial support and so a link between the New Zealand attacker and the Identitarian Movement in Austria,” Kurz said.
A spokesman for prosecutors in Graz said the head of Austria’s Identitarian Movement, Martin Sellner, received 1,500 euros ($1,690) in early 2018 from a donor with the same name as the man charged over the March 15 Christchurch attacks.
New Zealand police said investigators were making a large number of enquiries, across New Zealand and internationally, but refused to go into details.
Sellner, who did not reply to requests for comment from Reuters, published two videos on YouTube in which he said he had received a donation which involved an email address that matched the name of the Australian alleged to have carried out the Christchurch attacks.
He said in one of the videos: “I’m not a member of a terrorist organization. I have nothing to do with this man, other than that I passively received a donation from him.”

He said the donation was from early 2018 and that he would give the money to a charitable foundation.
Sellner said police had raided his house over the possible links to the attacker.
Austria’s Identitarians, who say they want to preserve Europe’s identity, are a relatively new, media-savvy far-right movement that uses the internet to promote their actions on the streets.
They imitate the tactics of more established activist groups such as Greenpeace. In 2017, they helped charter a ship as part of what they said was a campaign to defend Europe and they have tried to stop migrants crossing the Mediterranean from Libya.
Hansjoerg Bacher, spokesman for Graz prosecutors, said an investigation was underway about whether there were criminally relevant links between Sellner and the mosque attacker.
The Austrian Interior Ministry declined to comment.
Kurz said Austria was looking into dissolving the Identitarian Movement.
“Our position on this is very clear, no kind of extremism whatsoever - whether it’s radical Islamists or right-wing extremist fanatics - has any place in our society,” he said.
Kurz said on Twitter on Tuesday any connection between the Christchurch attacker and members of the Identitarian Movement in Austria needed to be fully clarified.
Austrian Vice-Chancellor Heinz-Christian Strache, of the far-right Freedom Party (FPO), said the FPO had nothing to do with the Identitarian Movement.
New Zealand has announced a royal commission inquiry into the Christchurch attack.
A suspected white supremacist has been charged with one count of murder over the shootings and will next appear in court on April 5.
New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has said the man had not been on any watch lists in New Zealand or Australia.

His views are mainstream around here (Grafton is a bit over 100km down the road). Similar views get published in mainstream media regularly. Australian politicians with national profiles speak at anti-Islamic events. Plenty of otherwise decent white people round here think we are actually at war with Muslims and that Sharia Law currently happens in Australia. Seriously. And for the last 18 years that narrative has been pushed on people repeatedly [by] Murdoch's media - he owns 3/4 of the media in Australia and his employees turn up on other media channels regularly because there aren't enough other journalists left in the country.
This century between my house and Grafton arseholes have been burning crosses on hillsides. They arrange rape parties for white school girls who socialise with aboriginal people. They talk about wiping out everyone in the middle east and most of Asia, with the side benefit this has if global warming is real (less co2 in the atmosphere.)
I don't know that prick but I've met so many people round here over the years who could have been him that its hardly surprising. Most of them can access guns and most of them have been shooting (on farms and in the bush) since they were kids.
Since the attack members of his family have been in local and national media acting all surprised and shocked about whats happened and his surviving immediate family are in hiding/protective custody. Probably oblivious to the casual racism they engage in regularly. I could tell you where his mum taught (and lived) or name people he played footy (the shit sort - rugby league) with. But I'm not gonna.
You want a conspiracy look at the aristocratic wannabes who fund the propaganda that inspires this shit and look at the other ideas they constantly push.
