(America First Report)—The case of the murdered 16-year-old Texas cheerleader has been closed.
Rafael Govea Romero was arrested Sunday in Schulenburg, Texas. He is accused of murdering Lizbeth Medina whose body was discovered by her mother in the bathtub of her apartment. Several local and national media outlets have reported on the arrest, but all left out one important piece of information: Romero is an illegal alien.
The press release sent out by the Edna Police Department clearly states this, but after reviewing 14 corporate media reports, none of them mentioned this detail.
Medina was supposed to perform with his cheerleading squad in a Christmas parade in Edna on Tuesday, but never made it.
Here is the GoFundMe setup to help the family.
Sound off on this story my subpile.
Editor's note: We generally support local news as superior to national corporate news. They often provide more information and less bias than CNN, Fox News or the national networks. But there is still a very clear prescribed narrative even with local news that makes me hesitant to share many of their stories.
Local media may be less biased, but they still reinforce the propaganda and the gas. Whenever illegal aliens are involved in crimes, their status information is usually omitted. Whenever murderers use firearms, there is invariably a compelling argument for the need for gun control. Perhaps most infuriating is his unwillingness to use gender in many of his stories. This week I read a post about a crime committed by a “them”; by the end of the article I still had no idea if the suspect was a man or a woman.
There is an important role played by local media that cannot be met by conservative or independent media. That is why we must demand better. If you read or watch your local news media, call them out when they insert their biases into reports or echo approved narratives. They should represent the news in the way that the local audience needs. This simply means sticking with the truth.
