Pushing the agenda

Saw a headline this morning something to the affect of 12 people killed in mass shootings over the weekend.

I was just bored enough to scroll through the article since I wasn?t aware of a large, tragic incident over the weekend.

It looks like once you read past the headline (which most likely won?t do) the 12 tragic deaths are from three separate incidents in there different states. I don?t remember all of the details but one event was a drive by shooting at a graduation party that police are saying was likely gang related, another event was some sort of late night shooting at a nightclub, and I don?t recall the third event.

I don?t know if there was ever a time when the media didn?t push an agenda but in this day and age they don?t even try to fool you into thinking they?re reporting news.

I heard something similar on the radio earlier. The chuckleheads in the newsrooms are quite blatant about it.

Weird they didn?t put up a headline about the 200+ people who were killed in mass car accidents over the same weekend.

Kind of the same if you want to lump individual events together into some sort of mass event and 200+ people killed is way more impressive than 12.
