RE: The mainstream media's role in mass shootings
The ABC/NBC/CBS cartel was bad, but modern cable news is far worse. I think they do play a role in glamorizing these mass murders in the eyes of other potential mass murderers. The news media is more media than news, and they aren't exactly responsible guardians of an informed public like they pretend to be.
This is why I say if you don't pay attention to the news you might be uninformed, but if you do pay attention to it, you'll be misinformed.
Whatever the current obsession of the mass media may be, it's probably not the truly important event of the moment. Of course, whatever the alternative media obsesses over at any given moment isn't guaranteed to be better.
