What has happened to us?

[senseandsensibility]

The average American/corporate journalist's attention span is now shorter than a three year old's it seems.

Both of the recent mass shootings are already old news. I find this very depressing.

Edited to change the title which was worded weirdly.

1. My Daughter Lives in Boulder

So it's not old news here.

The 24 Hour news cycle is not our friend.

Ooh! Look! Squirrel!

2. I'm glad to hear that, and I'm

so sorry for what your daughter's community is going through.

3. CNN is spending a ton of time on it right now.

4. Glad to hear that.

I don't have a regular TV, so I miss lots of stuff.

This should not just disappear quickly.

5. Good!

I'm not watching now but when I've watched today I haven't seen anything.

6. Yesterday at President Biden's press conference

Although I did not see the whole thing, I did not hear one journalist mention mass shootings or gun control. Can anyone tell me if the issue was brought up at all?

Very disappointed.

7. I was disappointed too.

The issues of the pandemic and the gun violence were almost completely ignored. No excuse for that.

8. Every reporter seemed to be obsessed with

the “border crisis”.

9. I wish

the media would play over and over again, what Mayorkas said how the Department was gutted, money not given to those 3 Central America countries, and how those migrants could have filed for asylum in their own country. Also I heard that they suffered 2 hurricanes.

10. Corruption has been allowed to run rampant through our government, media and society

at every level. If we 80 million people that voted for Joe and Kamala can keep our
momentum going we can accomplish a lot of good/productive things to change that.

11. Shorter than three years. The media is like a dog who has seen a squirrel.
