We now have another child shooter with his face and name plastered for everyone to see with 24/7 new coverage.
Lurking in the dark is the next child shooter who wants to be just as famous, if not more so.
Without your help, and the help of the state by not making schools as secure as other government buildings, none of this would be possible.
Wouldn't blame the media either way...
I would like to see what happened if they did purposefully not give any publicity to the future shooters and see where the trend goes from there.
I doubt it would have any effect but I'm willing to try it.
Two things:
1. The media is more interested in a story than preventing another tragedy
2. I think many of these Left winged cooks enjoy smearing our faces with these shootings all in a campaign to ban guns.
1. Agreed
2. Do the RW sites not publicize the shooter?
Some do. I'm convinced some of these RW sites, if not most, are only interested in stirring the pot and generating revenue for the "Us against them" battles against the Left.
In short, the media is most the scum of the earth on either side of the isle.
I would disagree with that...
When was the last time you paid anything directly for the media you consume? I haven't bought a newspaper in months. I haven't subscribed to a magazine this year. I do pay for a cable TV subscription but couldn't tell you what channel most of the news stations are located at...I know it's in the 300's.
You get what you pay for. And when the owners of the media are interested in turning a profit...you get sensationalized headlines, stories, and yes; cut-to-fit slanting of stories. I wouldn't be surprised that if sometime in our kids' lifetime, the results of elections are not even carried by some media outlets when their "side" loses.
