The mainstream media's role in mass shootings

Ammo.com has a good piece about the role played by the mainstream media (and also "social media") in encouraging mass shootings. I recommend it.

You know whenever there's one highly publicized mass shooting, that another will be coming along soon. It happens time after time.

The face and name of the evil loser will be everywhere, his "story" spread far and wide, along with speculation as to why he did it. And some other loser with nothing to live for will see all this and decide he wants some recognition, too. So he'll choose an evil act to get what he feels he deserves.

And then, legislative evil losers will blame those of us who didn't do it, threaten to steal our guns, and lock us in cages. It's the same old song and dance. Refuse to be used by any of the bad guys.

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.
