In reply to the discussion: Newspaper Publishes Gun Owners’ Names and Addresses [View all]Cynicus Emeritus
(172 posts)I couldn't agree more. The public and independents will be turned off by extremism in the media, and the pendulum will only swing again. The average member of society despises extremists and that is what this newspaper that published this and some others have attempted to use.
The media itself not only profits by over-hyping tragedies, but harms society too by creating copycats in other disturbed individuals who desire for celebrity even if it is infamous. Hollywood and the media have too many believing that any publicity and celebrity is good. Too many sickos have come to believe it.
BTW the tables were turned on this newspaper and their personal identities disclosed too which is as it should be for those who have a bully pulpit. http://pjmedia.com/instapundit/160286/
