No wrong answers. What effect do you think having something like the Uvalde tragedy on the news and websites 24/7 has on fragile human psyches, some of whom are craving notoriety? You and I are probably repulsed by the footage of people running in terror from a lunatic, but I believe that video is appealing to far too many sick sociopathic individuals; they don't care HOW they get attention as long as they DO.
I think the media gets a pass on this, and I think it's wrong. No one seems to even THINK about it.
Don't forget that the media is NOT a public service; it is BIG BUSINESS, paid for by ad dollars from Big Pharma and corporations and car manufacturers.
Those of you who know me? Yes, I am indicting the very industry I work in. There are terrific people in TV, as well as cretins I wouldn't give you a nickel for.
Again, no wrong answers, tell me your opinions, please, without ad hominem attacks, those are subject to deletion.
