Corrupt/Stupid/INCOMPETENT Media are making ROCK STARS of Mass Shooters

Posted on 08/21/2019 10:10:49 PM PDT by topher

If one wants to have more MASS SHOOTINGS, then just continue to have our CORRUPT/STUPID/INCOMPETENT Media continue to make 'Rock Stars' of Mass Shooters.

Guns are not the problem! It is our CORRUPT/STUPID/INCOMPETENT Media.

It is clear to anyone with an ounce of sense that Mass Shooters are 'Mentally Ill' people.

Yet, the Media makes 'Rock Stars' of Mass Shooters so that there are many, many more Mass Shooters. Look how many more 'Mass Shooters' are crawling out of the woodwork these days thanks to our CORRUPT/STUPID/INCOMPETENT Media.

We have 'IDIOTS' in control of ABC/CBS/NBC...

Of course, this same media thinks that the VIOLENCE by ANTIFA is okay...

Apparently, only IDIOTS and CRAZIES need to apply at ABC/CBS/NBC...

Maybe there is commentary about this somewhere, but I have not seen it. Our Media (ABC/CBS/NBC and itty bitty CNN) are quite SICK and out of control...

Before there was Mass Communication, there were very few Mass Shooting (Texas Tower shooting at the University of Texas campus in the 1960s comes to mind as the exception...

Then the MEDIA has hyped Mass Shootings so that the shooter becomes a 'Rock Star'.

This is another very good reason to ban gun free zones and carry a weapon. Always.

Yup. They won’t show someone running across the baseball field because they don’t want to award them the publicity or inspire copy-cats.

But, a mass shooting: that boosts their revenue and furthers their agenda, so TALLY-HO on the coverage!

I know the names of very few of these vermin.
The few I do know are only on account of the inescapable saturation coverage they were given.
Those few are also the ones most responsible for the later copy-cats the media continually encourages.
Have you noticed how often the vermin’s full and complete names are used?
That was once a sign of utmost respect, to use the full formal name rather just the first or last name.
So our stupid and corrupt media appear to have more respect for vermin killers than say, our president who they casually refer to by last name only!

I refuse to ever use the vermin’s names, “Media” should too, or maybe limit their names use to the first twenty-four hours while investigation and (Anti)-Social media links are still up.
But from then on limit them to a reference number or pejorative terms!
I cannot post my names for them here, they are deliberately demeaning and not at all flattering.

For YEARS, I have said that these shootings should not be made public due to the press glorifying the coverage and encouraging more of the same.

Media advise aspiring mass-shooters to always wear hearing protection!

IMO they are also responsible for the ‘cop killing ‘ epidemic that has swept the country.
By sensationalizing white cop v poor innocent black perp they’ve put a target on the backs of police.
Heck they are even dredging up Ferguson, MO. again.

Bill Whittle and Scott Ott put out a great video a couple of weeks ago that I highly recommend on this (which cobra64 explicitly voiced in his post at #6):

How to Stop Mass Shootings Like El Paso and Dayton>

The whole video is great to watch, but if you want the nut of it, go to the second link below which takes you right to the part:

Scott Ott asks the question and Bill Whittle responds at 7 minutes in-direct link

Basically: Stop making celebrities out of them. It is what what the nutbags want. Now, to be clear, it serves the ends of the Leftists in general and the media in particular (they not only get to inflame emotions to get things they want like gun control, it also allows them to exploit the "if it bleeds it leads" thing and make money at the same time.

And this isn't just Bill Whittle saying this, as he explains in the video, this is people whose specialty is studying the mind of the people who do these things. They have been saying for years that even giving their name should be discouraged.

(NOTE: One thing to point out is that Scott Ott is no Leftist, he is set up in this forum they use to be the "Leftist" and it is his task to ask the question the way a Leftist would frame it...and he does such a good job at it that I have to keep reminding myself that is not who he is, he is an excellent conservative, but...he plays the part so well he occasionally irritates me until I remember he is playacting...something to keep in mind...:)

Hows this any different than making ‘rock stars’ of the mentally-deficient like AOC, of Traitors like Hillary, like that anti-semites Tlaib miscreant. and of liars/cheats/frauds like themselves who cant wait to spew their non-fact/illogic/contrivances/un-american opinions and smears of anything/anyone who doesn’t agree with THEM ???

BOYCOTT ALL THESE DETESTABLE LEFTARDS

"Scott Ott is no Leftist"

I strongly disagree. Scott Ott is liken to McCain and Romney and has for a long time been a never Trumper.

Please remove me from this ping list.

He is also wrong about the shootings. The correct answer is
Stress-Induced Schizophrenia brought on by the media creates Stochastic Terrorism

Bill Whittle tells it exactly.

As the old saying goes...’There’s no such thing as bad publicity.’

These loner types want their name in history, no matter good or bad.

The Peter Gabriel song “Family Snapshot” nails it.

I am a member of billwhittle.com and have taken the time to listen to Scott Ott on there on a nearly daily basis, and if what I hear there in their lengthy discussion is any indication, he is no leftist to me so I will disagree with you.

I don’t think “Never Trumper” or “Neo-Con” has any meaning in the majority of contexts it is used in, I honestly don’t find those buzzwords worthwhile as a point of discussion.

I included you on that reply because you looked like you were interested in the subject. That was my mistake. I won’t make it again.

Yor post kind of makes my point about usage of terms, It usually tells me more about the person using the term, than what the term is actually used to describe in the context being delivered. Don’t worry, you won’t get pinged by me intentionally again.
