More Horrific mass shootings

The national media has covered the story and the man who stopped the shooter. A quick google search shows this.
I didn't say they didn't cover it. Uvalde was constantly thrown in our face every minute for a week straight. Have they given this equal amount of time. I'd bet less than 10%. Uvalde was drilled in peoples minds for a week. It's not being drilled in peoples minds that a good guy will save lives. Curious how many bad guys will show up if the story continues that good guys blow them away. Drill that into the minds of bad guys, maybe more lives can be saved.

not only has msm not given it equal time. no outlet has. because they shouldnt. only a lunatic would be trying to argue otherwise.

youre such a deluded person if you can fathom why a mass shooting of kids and a major MAJOR f up by the police gets more coverage than this. its really depressing people like you think this way,

It's really depressing that people act like you. But here we are.

Even some in the MSM recognize the bias and harm.

But as you said, this is where we are...people with their head buried in the sand.
you can refute anything i specifically said? would love to hear. sounds like you think were having a convo about the msm being good or bad. you guys are living in your own echo chamber. the conversation wasnt about that. so instead if posting something completely unrelated, please note where what i said was wrong. ill make it clear.

1) the msm did indeed cover the story despite it being stated otherwise < refute that

2) every news outlet from good to bad has covered uvalde 10x more than this story < refute that

3) there is no sane argument to say this story deserves remotely the same amount of coverage as uvalde < refute that

Check out ABC, NBC, CBS national coverage and one (ABC) doesn't even turn up a story on Dicken. The coverage on NBC and CBS was superficial, mentioning Dicken's actions briefly during the segment.

Uvalde was horrific and deserved wide-spread coverage. Greenwood is an afterthought after two days. Do I believe they deserved equal coverage? No, but a key aspect of the Greenwood hero has been essentially ignored.

The point that has been originally made is that there are certain narratives that get more attention and repetition. And there are some issues that get essentially ignored because they don't support it. If you can't see that, I can't help you.

That's right, @SHUHoopsFan. Lunatic and deluded! The board's most righteous poster has spoken. LOL!!!
 
Did not yield a story when typing his name this morning. Still superficial coverage. That’s the point.

Not really. Plenty of coverage.. He's probably speaking with attorneys for now and will likely get some interviews in the near future. It was covered everywhere. Just not how much you wanted it to be.

19 kids massacred while 400 jerkoffs stood outside for an hour gets more coverage...ya don't say?!?!

However, 4 days after the mall shooting CNN has a frontpage story on the "good guy".

"BUT ITS NOT ENOUGH" screams angry guy.

Or throwing Uvalde down your throat was too much.
 
No one was forcing you to tune into any of it. Change the channel, browse a different site etc...

It's a business. They cover stories that they believe will get them the most eyes on them so they will make more money.

Isn't the free press supposed to work in the public interest? Yes, these are technically for profit corporations, but the news media should be held to a higher standard. They are allowed to make money, but they need to cover stories fairly and without bias. Unfortunately, that doesn't exist anymore.

How was the story covered unfairly exactly? Its 4 days later and its a top story on liberal CNN.

How many days of coverage is fair in your warped mind?
 
What angle did they not cover in Uvalde?
OVERLOADED one angle. For those who don't understand, it means one view is being covered much more than the others. That doesn't mean any angles are not being covered. It just means one angle gets way more coverage, air time, whatever you want to call it than the other side.

Sure?

Not arguing if the media in general sucks or not. I would surely be on the side that they do.

Just saying, if they aren't covering a story as much as you would like them to be... It's probably because they think whatever they are showing instead will make them more money.
 
Bad guys with guns over good guys with guns, the past 3 years especially.

Well yes, cause bad guys with guns happens daily in our country whereas "good guys" stopping them is quite rare. Now that this rare situation ocurred it is recieving coverage....and you still find ways to complain.

I'm talking in general. The free press in this country doesn't serve the public interest like it did in the 60s/70s/80s.

The personal insults you hurl on a seemingly daily basis now just because you disagree with me (or others, see the way you speak to @ed odowd ) are turning me off from interacting with you.

You cant point out what was unfair with the story coverage that were discussing so you start speaking in generalities.

How will I survive without you and Ed 😭

Two peas in a pod.

You used to be a level-headed person but you've shown your true colors over the last few years on this board. I'm disappointed because I used to like your style and views quite a bit. But life goes on, can't worry about it.
