It's so easy to blame the media. You can blame them for exploting this for their own gain to be sure, but to say they contribute to this is wrong, when its really our own fault. But then again, what exactly are you supposed to feel when you hear 26 people and 20 children were slaughtered? Restricing information is a dangerous slope to go down. This information comes out no matter what. Its up to us to not react to it. Again, good luck with that. Its pretty much human nature to want to know more and the media is there waiting to oblige. They're a business and as such they go with what drives business. Maybe we should want them to cover more issues (like mental health?), but then they know we wouldn't watch. Its all on us.
