That is a rational analysis of irrational behavior. Which is to say incorrect. None of them did what they did for fame or infamy. Nor would any of them really be able to achieve it because they are a dime a dozen in our violent ignorant culture. Go ask anyone on the street about this. And ask them to tell you when this shooting occurred. Without letting them look it up through Google etc. They won’t be able to tell you whether it was the shooting last week, the week before the week before that the week before that the week before that the week before that the week before that the week before that the week before that the week before that the week before that, or perhaps the week before that.
There’s plenty of out things to criticize the media for. Factual information really isn’t one of them. Criticize them for a fact that they turn everything into a close horse race for ratings. Or that they give fascist unlimited free airtime.
