As much as we do defend journalists against Trump, media isn't exempt from having it's feet held to the fire..

The media treats these tragedies like sports. Putting the victim count like score counts and making these creeps infamous.

They make political hay out of some. Downplay or ignore facts of others. Disgusting

Better get stepping. I have a machine gun license. I served in a vessel that deliberately sinks itself. Very definition of crazy.

Big Tech (Google, Facebook, Twitter) seems to think blocking certain speech that they don't like will stop the speech from spreading.

Maybe they should try that with violence.

Movies, video games, TV, social media - you don't like it in real life, don't watch it. Or - make an example of a program and protest the sponsors.

The media is most to blame and I said it a couple years ago on city-data that mass shootings will increase because the media makes them famous. I only see this happening more and more, especially now that they are marketing this guy's manifesto.

Oh boo Hoo....
the Media reports on the news. It's their job. It's what they do.
Trumpers don't like it, so they blame the news....it's like shooting the messenger because you don't like the message.

Team Red loves its socialism in times like these.

What a fantastic sociological study it has been to watch them go pure Marxist after these mass shootings.
