[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 4103802, member: 3099"] Personally the media should only put out about a three sentence blurb on these shootings buried on page six. Something like this: [I]"A gunman opened fire at the xxx mall today and several people were hit. Police responded and neutralized the threat."[/I] That's literally what should be reported. The general public at large just doesn't have a need to know about this stuff (except for VERY locally AND if it's still ongoing). But the media just loves to run every little detail which they don't even know, so they just have to speculate on it. It sells copy, clicks, views, etc. so the more people that are affected, both good and bad, the better it is for them. $$$ And then they get a bonus of spinning it for political purposes. They don't care that what they do inspires others to copycat. They don't care that their activities actually consume LEO resources, they will send all the satellite trucks, regardless. IOW, the media just doesn't care that they are part of the problem. [/QUOTE]
