Although yes, given how the MSM loves to sling mud at anyone who doesn't fit their Globo-Borg worldview (see: critical coverage of senile Trump vs neutral coverage of senile Biden) it is surprising they haven't leapt on the chance to attack Johnson.

Why would they spend all day talking about a mere 7 extra gun deaths?
Gun violence spiked over Fourth of July weekend, with shootings reported in nearly every U.S. state that killed a total of at least 220 people and wounded close to 570 others, according to the Gun Violence Archive.
The database, which collects information about fatalities and injuries linked to incidents involving discharged firearms, updated its records early Tuesday. Published tallies show the number of weekend shootings was almost equal to the number of resulting injuries, with well over 500 instances of shootings documented nationwide between Friday and Monday. There were only five states where one or more shootings were not reported in that time frame.
Of all gun violence incidents accounted for during the holiday weekend, at least 11 were classified as mass shootings by the Gun Violence Archive. Any situation where four or more people, excluding the shooter, are killed or wounded by gunshots is considered a mass shooting.

It's a lot more than 'two underlings'.https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-62058278
in April the firm asked voters what word summed up the prime minister and "that most common word was liar and I don't think this is going to change views of that."

Psssttt… You know I love you man, and this response was just an attempt to Troll JP4 and BTR.
Don’t tell anyone. BTR didn’t fall for it, I’m kinda disappointed.

Why would his comment troll me? He's right, 'mass shooting in America' is not headline-worthy.
