Actually it’s black shooting victims the media ignores, you lack reading comprehension
Shooting in West Point......

You continue to suck as a poster.
Your complaint and vague but obvious casual reasoning to defend your claim are just terrible. Not as terrible as this tragedy, but terrible nonetheless.
The shooting has been widely covered. Your complaint was wrong. Simple as that.
And if a mass shooting doesn't break into headlines as quickly as you would expect, perhaps it is because they are so common. When you have nearly 400 in a year, so over 1 each day on average, some may not gain traction like you hope.

Same race crimes don’t get the media coverage that opposite race crimes get. If a rural white guy had shot six white people, four of them family members, in the trailer park, it would get the exact same amount of media attention this one is getting. Now, if a black guy kills six white people or a white guy kills six black people, then it’s got a big chance to go viral.
not really true. White shooter white victims will nearly always get media attention. Black on black crime gets swept under the rug by the national media, and if you doubt that look at the regular shootings that happen in Chicago on weekends.
there is a bias in national media reporting on crime, and you can see that if you are a mature adult.
You’re just making up stuff off your own racial biases. That’s a you problem. There are so many shootings in America that it’s impossible for most of them to go viral. Several years ago, a 14-year old white kid in Elkmont, Alabama killed his entire family of five people. It did make national news, but never went viral like you seem to think this one should. Crimes in rural areas of the country don’t get The View coverage unless it’s an extreme circumstance, like black on white crime or white on black crime, or 20 people being killed at once. I also think it’s sad that your first thought after six people were murdered was that black people are protected by the national media.
lol, yes I’m just making up stuff.
Disparities in news coverage
Crimes against Black people are also less likely to receive media attention. A 2020 analysis of all news coverage of the 762 homicides in Chicago in 2016 found that where a crime occurred contributed to its perceived newsworthiness. Murders in predominantly Black neighborhoods received less coverage than those in white neighborhoods. What’s more, the authors noted, “Those killed in predominantly Black or Hispanic neighborhoods are also less likely to be discussed as multifaceted, complex people.” To measure this, researchers counted the number of times articles described victims in terms of their roles in the community (such as spouse, grandchild, friend, or volunteer), instead of focusing simply on the details of the crime.The lack of media attention to crimes involving victims of color may actually explain some of the difference in police clearance rates. News coverage can help make people aware that a crime occurred, lead to information from the public, and keep pressure on police departments. For example, the media and public obsession over certain crimes, dubbed the “Missing White Woman Syndrome,” can mean less attention is given to cases of missing Black people.
This. It would be pumped up hysterically on a national scale and the narrative about needing more "common sense gun laws" would be non-stop.
Or white shooter with black victims. The national media goes ape$#!t with that, with the non-stop narrative about racism or "white nationalism." Especially if it's a shooting involving law enforcement. It's ALWAYS about racism and the other side of the story never gets covered.

I’m just surprised at the lack of national coverage for the shooting. The disparity in coverage reflects a bias and really it’s usually black victims of crime that get no media attention. The above study backs up what anyone with two brain cells can see goes on in Chicago on a regular basis with almost no reporting.
"They" just need to say we need mental institutions without doing anything to bring them back including funding. Just saying it is sufficient and then you can move on to something else.
It’s literally on every single national outlet and on many local ones both inside and outside Mississippi. Your premise is totally invalid.
Edited to add: it’s linked in on Drudge. The article is on NBC’s main site. Just give it up man.

Incorrect. It’s because we’ve accepted drug addicts and losers as part of a civilized society. Adam Carolla is correct. As a general rule, poor people aren’t poor due to circumstances. They’re poor because they’re lazy and dumb.
Argue all you want. Facts and data support it. If you think my assessment is uninformed/ignorant, try Thomas Sowell’s.

Why not just 17 off? You are the stupidest mother 17er on this board. Some of us have lived enough life to realize that being prepared is better than being a victim. Stick your head back up your a$$ and shut the 17 up.
You are the stupidest mother 17er on Al Gore’s Internet. As much as I am opposed to abortion, your existence makes a pretty good case that it should remain legal.

How in the hell were you still claiming this at 330pm, when it had been shown to you hours earlier that there has been a bunch of national coverage?
What exactly are you looking for here? Like how do you measure if there is enough coverage?
This feels like when a 5 year old plays a game where only they know the rules and they keep changing them when others play and win.
Ha, it seems like you are just pissed that you didn't realize you could simply not answer the door.
Well despite your emotional outburst, I am glad I was able to provide you with an alternative way to handle the scary situation of an unknown person ringing a doorbell.
Just not answering the door seems so much easier and safer than answering it with a loaded gun in your hand.
Hard to understand, I mean there is absolutely nothing going on right now. You are a damn idiot. It’s on every outlet out there.
You are damn idiot. it’s all over Twitter. That was the second place I saw it this morning.
What did I post about @85Bears' comments that is inaccurate? Hint, those are my last 2 paragraphs...and nothing is inaccurate.
You just dislike what was said.
You are the smartest person in the world in your own mind. The rest of the world sees you for the stupid 17er that you really are.
if there is a breaking national story it will be prominently mentioned on Twitter, this story is not receiving national coverage, you really have to search for it. This was my point.
You know what, literally everybody here knows you are wrong. Your point is just totally wrong.
I can’t understand why this isn’t getting top billing world wide. There certainly isn’t anything else of note going on. *********
If you don't like what you're seeing on Twitter, follow different accounts, right? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
