CNN Exposes Their Own Hypocrisy Of How Nauseating The Media Covers Mass Shootings

In the latest chapter of mass shootings in the United States, a gunman mercilessly opened fire inside a classroom at a small Oregon college on Thursday. Ten people were murdered and seven were injured during the shooting at Umpqua Community College.

“I will not name the shooter. I will not give him the credit he probably sought prior to this horrific and cowardly act,” Douglas County Sheriff John Hanlin told the media. Sadly, the media did not follow his correct course of action. Media outlets quickly scoured and soon discovered who the shooter was, and released his name.

Not only did they release his name, but they revealed his dating profile, his MySpace account and they divulged that he wrote a multi-page document only described as “a philosophy of hate.” Which will probably be broadcast on your television screens any minute now.

While all flags at Oregon public institutions will fly at half-staff until sunset on Friday as a reminder to commemorate and cherish the victims of this tragedy, I’m sure most will center their attention around the cowardly gunman. And you can’t really blame them since the media gears their coverage to the monsters that go on these murderous rampages and not the victims.

Nothing highlights the media’s hypocrisy in covering mass shooting more than this mind-boggling footage from CNN.

Besides having a bizarre Call Of Duty-like screen graphic of the killer’s cache of weapons, they highlight the point that the shooter realizes that the more victims he shoots, the more infamy he will receive.

Remember the highly publicized Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting from 2012 in Newtown, Connecticut? The extensive media coverage seemed to have inspired him. The spineless milksop uploaded a BBC documentary titled “Surviving Sandy Hook,” three days before his own homicidal slaughter.

Remember the highly publicized live TV murder of two journalists in Virgina last month? The extensive media coverage seemed to have inspired him as well.

The Oregon gunman even expressed sympathy for the Virgina coward. “People like him have nothing left to live for, and the only thing left to do is lash out at a society that has abandoned them,” the shooter wrote in a blog post in August.

He added this chilling, prophetic statement:

“On an interesting note, I have noted that so many people like him are all alone and unknown, yet when they spill a little blood, the whole world knows who they are. A man who was known by no one is now known by everyone. His face splashed across every screen, his name across the lips of every person on the planet, all in the course of one day. Seems the more people you kill, the more you’re in the limelight.”

When will the media learn that these worthless nobodies crave the attention and when they see fellow worthless nobodies getting nationwide attention for pulling a trigger it only inspires them. We may not be able to prevent mass killings, but we can eliminate the instantaneous notoriety as a motivation to carry out mass shootings.
