I'm Confused.. Why are majors ignoring

[busterbrown]

the school shooting.. Many Reporting that 2 are dead and several injured...

Trump news all over the place.. I guess more important?

Just don't get it!

1. One student dead & 7 additional injured, though at least three have been treated & released.

Two suspects in custody.

Local media is on it continually--not even breaking for national news at 5:30.

[Cattledog]

2. It was the lead story on NBC Nightly.

[LonePirate]

3. Mass shootings have become a daily occurrence so the networks cover them less and less.

The media no longer cares unless there is a sensational element to the shooting or the death count is high.

4. Maybe MSM is covering shootings differenly? Noticed they didn't often

say the name of the shooter a few weeks ago in California synagogue. That was CNN. Maybe they got evidence that lack of publicity really does reduce the incidences of mass shootings?

6. People who are set on mass shootings.

Are never deterred.. IMO..

12. Man on A.C. 360 just said that there is a community online that follow true crime and all the

shooters. After a shooting they go quiet (they are kids or young adults I think). Then a week later they start sharing and talking shootings again. After Parkland they went quiet for months. Like Emma Gonzales and the Hoggs got through to them finally. Made it uncool to be rebellious by following shooters.

7. Denver media had meetings on this not that long ago with law enforcement. The official policy is to

provide names and photos initially so that information from the public that might help in investigations can be elicited/solicited. Then, shift to focusing on the discussion of "perpetrators" without further naming/details. The transition might be days or up to a week, but it is supposed to be as rapid as possible.

5. Just on NPR top of the hour read

And we're becoming numb

18. .

Agree

8. It deson't get the coverage here at DU like it used to.

There used to be dozen upon dozen of threads after a mass shooting, especially a school shooting, for several weeks and numerous calls to shut the Gungeon down here but not no more.

People have become acclimatized to it.

9. Not enough dead and injured kids. I guess that's where we are now.

10. Damn

[UniteFightBack]

11. Anderson Cooper is covering it now. nt

[aikoaiko]

13. Not enough dead kids and no reported AR15s used.

This tragic event doesn't fit the current narrative of gun control.

[Rebl2]

14. Saw it

on NBC nightly

[ecstatic]

15. I was stunned to hear about it a few minutes ago on Chris Hayes.

We live in a disgusting country. Mass shootings at a school are no longer important enough to report on. Just business as usual. SMH.

16. If we can dump Trump and get a Democrat elected...

The US is in a position to actually do something about gun laws.

[Skittles]

17. gun humpers won

school shootings are a way of life now

gotta protect the rights of gun humping cowards, see?
