Right, Wing-Nut!: The Newtown Massacre: Blame The Media?

The media obsession with the unhinged Right, Wing-Nut!: The Newtown Massacre: Blame The Media?

It was the same with the Norway murders, perhaps more so. The media has always loved the exploitation of these tragedies. The perpertrators of these crimes are present as anti-social, almost Hollywood-like caricatures of villainy. Very little attempt is made to research facts, delve deeper into what made these monsters. The media is content to present the most sensationalistic, pulp fiction, dime novel style, psycopath's masturbation fodder, for consumption over coffee and toast. It's not the victims they care about. Villains sell papers. So sensationalize and celebrate your latest villain.
