Exactly . It is the media who causes these shootings.These psychos are looking for the fame and immortality the media will give them. Then the media who caused it manipulates the shooting to say “see we have to take away your guns , see how dangerous guns are” . NO this wouldn't even happen as much as it does if the media didn't give it endless attention. the media has blood on its hands. don't ban guns ban the stupid media ( using their logic).

” Yes, the MSM has become the means to immortality for these homicidal misfits. “

The other side of the coin - why allow Islamists, OWSers, Holder’s People, and the like, any more anonymity than they already enjoy at the hands of the MSM??

I get a little tired of hearing about it after a while. It’s a tragedy for sure, but it gets run into the ground. Just hang the psycho and be done with it.

The MSM has become the “Attack Shark” of journalism, going in for the “media kill” (i.e. “scoop”) at the first smell of blood (the victim(s) be damned).

I speak as an old card-carrying journalist. I remember when professional ethics ran strong among the old-timers (except for the Walter Duranty’s of the New York Times (i.e. Herbert Matthews and Castro;) Karen DeYoung, Wash. Post; Woodward, Wash. Post; Kwitney, WSJ; Anthony Lewis, NYT; etc.)

Today most MSM (not the average reporter) journalists and many cable news egotrippers (Geraldo Rivera, Amanapour, Brian Ross, James Gregory, and the MSNBC/CNN bimbos) have very little in the way of ethics, with accuracy not being a major consideration, nor a lot of knowledge about the topics they cover. I think Amanapour knows a lot but only presents selected information.

We formed Accuracy in Media in 1969 to fight this type of liberal/leftist crap and here we are, in 2012, fighting the same stuff but this time it is even worse.

Only an outraged citizenry can change this situation.
