Christian musician, who sang the national anthem for Trump at 2022 rally, is facing felony child pornography charges

Thinking about the pedocon theory post again : https://www.liberalcurrents.com/we-need-to-talk-about-pedocon-theory/
It's truly remarkable how about once a week we see a headline like this regarding a conservative. For left leaning people it's more like once every 3-6 months.
Have you considered that the media you are (or allow yourself to be) exposed to, plays a part in that?
As an example, this took literal seconds to find, and it's an article from this month:
A North Carolina state House member has been charged with sex-related crimes involving a teenager earlier this year, court records show.
Six-term Democratic state Rep. Cecil Brockman, 41, of High Point, was arrested Wednesday on two counts each of statutory sexual offense with a child and taking indecent liberties with a child, according to a magistrate's order detailing his arrest.
I bet you've never heard of this person, or ever saw this article, right?
Before I explicitly looked, I hadn't either. But it's not that it was hidden, really, just that it's not the data the algorithms put in front of my eyes, without me having to go seek it. Don't underestimate the impact these algorithms have on what you're made aware of, and how that controlled exposure can shape, or warp, your sense of reality.
I'll never forget that graph that showed the comparison of how much violent crime had decreased over the years in the US, juxtaposed with public perception of violent crime rates literally rising in inverse proportion over the same period of time, thanks to mainstream media sensationalism. Ever since that day, I've tried to keep myself from making assumptions about how common something is, based on how often it's reported on, especially when it comes to controversial/shocking subjects like these, as those are the ones where there is the most temptation for an outlet to sensationalize.

Of course it is. CP is a mandatory line item for a typical MAGA resume.
Is this kind of absurd hyperbole really productive?
Not unless they also mention racism, transphobia and homophobia as the other line items.
So which government department will he be given after the pardon?
Secretary of foster care
WHY ARE THEY ALWAYS DIDDLERS
Because diddlers will go after whichever demographics allow the most diddling.
Come on, not all singers molest children.
Another Republican pedophile? Color me fuckin shocked, eh?
It might be easier at this point to list the Republicans who aren't pedophiles and sexual predators.
Edit:
There.
I think that's all of them.

I'm sure this was Biden's fault.
Nope. Goes all the way back to Obama’s fist-bumping mustard-colored suit

Big surprise. /s
Would it save time at this point if, rather than reporting on every Republican paedophile, we just reported every time it was revealed that a Republican wasn’t a paedophile?
Do you want to make all the journalists unemployed?
Pedophiles, Republicans, and Texas
Say it with me now
Grand. Old. Pedophiles.
More winning for the GOP!!
When will he be pardoned?
Don't worry about him, he's not dangerous. He's unarmed.
He has no arms...
Given the charges, that leaves me with some additional questions...
The questions shouldn't be too hard. There was once, in the vaudeville scene, a girl who brought the crowds flocking to see her. They watched her eat, drink, put on makeup and shoes. They didn't do it because she was lewd, standing nude, nor because of her words and witty banter... they did it because she had no arms and was able to do it all with her feet.
I could see a setup to type and use a mouse with feet, if not one of those head devices with a laser pointer.
Yea, that checks out.
Don't worry, they'll stop charging people with this soon and then it'll just allllll go away.
The writers need to get some new material. They’re starting to repeat themselves.
Of course, he's a hypocritical religious person who hides behind the bible BS he learned from mommy and daddy.
Not hypocrisy, the bible supports pedophilia. It's disgusting backwards ass bullshit and half remembered ghost stories written by inbred winos.
I feel like the fact that he was a church minister is much more relevant information for the headline. Who gives a shit that he sang a song at a Trump rally once, seriously? Clickbait slop.
It establishes notability. There's a lot more ministers than Trump performers.
