7 Dead in Colorado Springs shooting

It is a perfect vessel to claim that the gun violence issue is spreading beyond the boundaries of young men and infecting women as well. Missed opportunity by the media.

A student in the school I work at is related to the family.
He told me that he was here illegally, was violent towards his girlfriend and carried a gun on him at all the times.
That’s all I’m gonna say.

Interesting - so if he'd followed the laws on the books.... Oh wait... He was here illegally, he obtained a firearm and carried it regularly - just on the surface, that's how many laws broken?

Based off the possibility the shooter was here illegally, it's likely this will be dropped by the media...

It'll be dropped by the news cycle in exactly the same way that every story is dropped by the news cycle. As new things happen, those new things will be what is reported. As usual, people will fabricate all kinds of completely false reasons for why the story stopped being circulated; without even considering that there is only one reason news stories are dropped, and it's the same for every one. It's old news. No more new developments? Well then nothing left to report.

The shelf life for sensationalism is very brief.

That's why the Boulder story keeps recirculating? Because of new developments?

yet when a white guy does it. It's 24/7 for at least a week. Unless....................SQUIRREL! There's such a bias in the media, if you tripped over it, you shouldn't be surprised.

So media outlets never intentionally, due to some agenda, keep certain stories active, front and center?

That's some fake news, right there.

I haven't heard anything about the Boulder shooting since the week it happened.

I'm not saying media isn't manipulated, it obviously is, I just don't think it's to the extent everyone wants to complain about. It's probably manipulated far more on ways we don't expect, and far less in ways we do.
