Whenever there is a shooting or some mass killing, as soon as the media learns who it is they have their photo posted on their channel nonstop for the next 72 hours and dig up every single thing they know about the person and give the person all the attention in the world

Hence why we have copycat killers, nutcases like Adam Lanza see how the media focuses all their attention on the killer and want to do the same to get their 15 minutes.

Maybe if our media stopped glorifying the killers and making them the focal point of their 24/7 coverage for days upon days, we will get less copycats.

This I agree with you about.

Media is a function of the market.

Someone mentioned this already, but if you want to change the way the media covers something, you have to change the consumer.

I don't blame this on the media at all, I blame this on societal short comings. This, as well as all the shootings, is a mental problem of an individual. The problem is that it isn't an isolated mental issue.

26 people died at Sandy Hook... ZERO injured... Not one drop of blood ever seen... NO surveillance footage...

3 People died in Boston... OVER 100 injured... Blood everywhere... Video footage everywhere...

Maybe the lamest post in the whole thread. This guey is completely useless. This is like intro to innanet 101 posting with the canned joke. What a tool.

Well there were already tons of media cameras already there at the Boston Marathon and it happened outside in front of 1000's of people.

I don't think they were going to let people with their cell phone cameras into the school so they could take pictures of kids slaughtered to post on the internet.
