The problem here is the frequency of the crimes. If CEOs were being shot on a weekly to bi weekly average in groups of 3 or more, this crime would become one of the many others the American media wash over.
This is the disheartening part that highlights the class divide. Shootings of common folk barely make the news where I’m from. How much have taxpayers paid for this so far? Justice clearly isn’t being applied equally.
I don’t really think it’s a conspiracy of sorts, it’s just news media being news media. They want the most clicks, doesn’t matter much what for or what the consequences are. it’s the same reason why trump yet again got so extremely much news coverage. Had news organizations all decided not to waste their time with trump, we wouldn’t have his presidency now. In reality though, everyone and their mother had to talk about trump, it was trump before and after and now we have yet again to deal with this fuck face for a other 4 years. I know that news media aren’t the only ones to blame, theyight now even be the worst, but he’ll do they have a large share of the blame for all the shit that had been happening lately, and it’s all about the clicks, it’s all about the money
Like you mentioned, it’s the biased part of the business which wrestles with journalistic integrity.
ie. Return on Investment, special access or limited access compared to your competitors depending how your piece is written.
It’s not entirely surprising when journalistic integrity is at odds with the finances that fund said journalism, but it most certainly can be disappointing.
I think governments should fund multiple independent foundations that can fund news organizations and journalists. This way, news can focus on just that: actual news. If the organizations are 100% independent, then so can be the news organizations. It might need some tweaking here and there but anything is better than what we have now
Totally agree. Unfortunately it’ll still be attacked as “government funded media” like NPR gets even though from my understanding what you’re describing sounds more international. And I’m sure there will always be pressure from countries demanding veto power or they’ll cut their funding similar to the issues the UN has, but we can’t let searching for the best solution keep us from implementing one that’s better than what we have now.
Its fucked up the news is acting like Sandy Hook wasn’t a decade ago. All this guy is accused of is shooting a CEO.
Maybe if it happens enough, we can normalize billionaire CEO murder as well.
CEO or not, billionaires gotta go
Ya you don’t have to be a CEO to hold massive investments across the board
Sandy hook was instead normalized, and happens multiple times over across the nation annually. Pew pew ‘muricuh

That sounds like a challenge
We’ve come a long way with fun trends. Planking, owling, cat breading, an now CEOing, what a time to live in
They got Luigi’d!
Indeed, the powerful would be left on their own like they left our children on their own. Only unlike our kids, they could do something about it…
The billionaires would be totally “scrooged”, better share the wealth assholes. A poor man, isn’t a murdered man.
cackle
Well, I can dream…
pretty sure the affect on stonks would make congress address it differently
