CNN “contributes to mass shootings” and will “have to answer for demonizing gun enthusiasts.” (enemies, Israel)

24/7 entertainment/news feed off tragedy/death. All sow discord and sensationalize. They all make me sick.

The media has provided the next mental case and wannabe terrorist with the perfect strategy, step by step, for a massacre.


Over and over again, the media gives out the best practices for terrorists and lone wolf attacks. A how to video played over and over again in case the potential killer didn't get it the first time.


Media self control needs to be part of the solution.

That's only IF one dare mention . . regulation. Otherwise, everything is fair game..

Finding myself agreeing with you again.
Media and social media is such a double edged sword.
While I love having information at my fingertips, in many ways it's ruining life in what used to be civilised society.

Fox News quickly said they didn't share that view but by that time it's too late.

Are they throwing rocks and hiding their hand?

IMO all of these networks share "some" of the blame for this stupid back and forth and 24 hour s### show.

I'm putting this on my list of some of the best excuses I have seen from the right for mass shootings in the last two days. Others include:

Mental health
Big Pharma
Rachel Maddow
and now CNN. LOL.

Of course you did. If it's not put out by the DNC propaganda machine, it isn't worth reading!

Maybe the original post was generated by 4chan.

Seems to be a lot of that going around these days.

I had to stop watching the coverage. If I hear "the deadliest mass shooting in US history" one more mf'ing time.... It's not only on CNN but, my local news channel anchors were saying the same crap. WTF? This is nothing to be bragging or gloating about.
