If the "news" (media) discussed their role in the various shootings someone would put 2 and 2 together and make a case for their culpability and sue them. Thus, this, they will not do.
The 24 hour news cycle is one of the worst things to happen to society in modern times, in my opinion. Not because I don't think people have a right to be informed, but because quite frankly sometimes there really isn't that much going on, so they take whatever story they have and they beat that dead horse into oblivion.
When the news was on twice a day, they didn't have time to insert their opinions, and had to report actual news. The time and place for opinion or OP ED pieces was the newspaper, where someone had to carefully think through and put down their thoughts and feelings into full sentences that even someone with a 3rd grade reading level could understand. The media now is not news, but rather simply glorified versions of each and every one of us on the internet. Some state facts, while others scream and rant and spew their hatred and ignorance; but because it's said by a well dressed talking head on tv - we're supposed to take it as gospel.
