Do you remember earlier this week when you reported that the shooter in the Omaha mall wanted to go out in a way that made him famous? And do you remember the days since then, when you did nothing but report on his past, run pictures of him, interview his friends, and discuss, in depth, his intent?
Has it ever occur to any of you dense logs that you are GIVING A MASS MURDERER WHAT HE ASKED FOR?
I mean, really, how big of a chubby does it give you all to dwell on tragedy? Might I add that this shooter anticipated your raging hard-on for wringing the dishtowel of a story for any greasy drops of humanity, and called his fame?
Freedom of the press, sure, fine, you have the Constitutional right to publish whatever nonsense may or may not give you some blind, opinionless chump's dollar, but for the love of God, when you order your bullshit, get it with a side order of ration. It's fresh from the fields, and we have a bountiful supply.
