of shooters and spicy media sauce

The media loves a story that bleeds. It distracts
people from important issues, like the strangulation
of our economy by oligarchs.

But, when the story twists, so does the media.

So, watch how the
"gunman who injured 9 and killed 1"
became the non-story
"police injure 9"

@LukeRudkowski Gunman shoots 1. NYC's finest up the ante by shooting 9. They've definitely earned my trust and respect. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/08/25/empire-state-building-shooting-nypd-bullets-shot-all-nine_n_1830007.html?icid=hp_front_top_art

Funny how coverage of the Empire State Building shooting tanked as soon as it was revealed the NYPD shot everyone
