I mean also people get bored and this was never going to spark some kind of revolution like people here imagined. It’s just the media moving in the newest thing like they always do.
What would the news headline be?
Luigi Still In Custody While Waiting For Hearing
or
Mangione's Attorneys Presumably Working Hard
or
Brian Thompson Still Dead
News doesn't tend to report when things are the same as they were yesterday. If his lawyers aren't talking to the press, and the prosecutors aren't talking to the press, and the trial won't start for another month, what exactly are the reporters going to report on?
I would love to see the headlines if this was the norm.
President Carter Still Dead, We Confirmed
Obama Not President, Maybe Enjoying Retirement?
Epstein's Suicide Not Being Investigated
Actually any headline of something not happening sounds super suspicious lol

Free Luigi!
And Wario!
Stupid autocorrect changed it to Mario...
The next court date has been set for February 21.

As much as I'd like to believe it's a conspiracy, news organizations make money from clicks. There isn't much for them to monetize between now and February 21, so they're focusing on more immediate stuff.
If they can get good photos and text from the next court date, Luigi will get more coverage.
Edit: there have been like five plane crashes, one US inauguration, and major US wildfires since his last court date.

They can’t demonize Luigi, so they’re trying to erase him. The media is seeing the limitations of their power against popular anger. They have to be terrified.
Meanwhile, the guy who actually shot the CEO is probably living off the grid in a cabin somewhere.

I still haven’t seen anything that links Luigi to the footage of the shooting. I don’t know how anyone looks at that footage and is like “Yup. That’s the same guy”.
If the eyebrows are thicc, you must acquit.
But Luigi had a burner gun and a manifesto on his person a whole week after the crime! Of course he did it. Why would anyone discard their burner or do literally anything with their manifesto after a statement like that? Lmao

You should label your images if they are AI generated.
Label it how?
The body of the post.
You should label your comment if they are made by a bot.
I think they did.
What? I was just poking fun at the OP by implying he's a bot.
