After the horrific brutality in Waukesha, Wisconsin, in which a man rammed his SUV into marchers in a Christmas parade, causing the deaths of at least six people, including a small child and injuries to scores of others, many media outlets eschewed calling what happened an attack, instead using terms such as “parade crash,” or “parade tragedy,” unlike their coverage of the car-ramming at the 2017 Charlottesville rally which they commonly referred to as an “attack.”
Of Waukesha, the Associated Press titled an <a href="https://apnews.com/article/milwaukee-00641efceaf200ce2c3fbf5e5200be13">article</a>, “Child is 6th death in Waukesha parade crash; suspect charged.”
As recently as November 8, the Associated Press referred to the 2017 Charlottesville occurrence when a man rammed his car into what AP called a peaceful group of protesters, killing one woman and dozens of others injured, as a “car attack,” using the title “<a href="https://apnews.com/article/sports-violence-lawsuits-race-and-ethnicity-racial-injustice-1e2d3e8ee3662494093ff9ebfc829a50">Woman recalls total ‘terror’ of Charlottesville car attack</a>.”
On Tuesday, CBS News called the Waukesha car-ramming a “deadly Christmas parade crash.”

Media strategist Gabriella Hoffman commented, “Media outlets reducing vehicular mass killings to crashes is blatant news coverage malpractice. As someone who also had a loved one killed in a vehicular mass killing, the media downplayed it as a crash too. Waukesha victims &amp; families deserve better than this. C’mon.”
