Headlines are often startling for a reason, and images intensify the message. It used to be, the headlines gave an inkling as to what was contained in the actual news article, when "the news" contained the reported facts and event. Now, we are for the most part aware that the news is actually used to "lead one's thinking." The link below proves our media is a part of the programing, rather than a source of information.
Two armed individuals, husband and wife, shot and killed two police officers at point blank range, then entered a Wal-Mart and the husband fired a round. When an armed citizen confronted the shooter, his wife gunned down the citizen. As the situation unfolded, the two headed to the back of the store preparing for a shootout with police. Ultimately the wife shot her husband, then turned the weapon on herself and fired.
The local news now has the audacity to introduce the situation of a few months back on the Bundy ranch, into the article about the shooters, looking for ties that probably don't exist and if they do, they certainly have nothing to do with the Bundys. Intentionally leading readers to tie this event to the BLM invasion of the Bundy ranch is irresponsible journalism. There has not been proper time to investigate this matter.
Entering the url that states "probe ties between . . ." will obviously become a part of the digital history of the internet, and for those who still do not realize the the media is an arm of the powers that be, the connection will be drawn in the court of public opinion. To make an unmitigated suggestion such as this, would be tantamount to claiming these mass shootings are staged and reported to sway the public in favor of gun control and confiscation.
Good reporting presents the facts discovered as a result of investigative journalism. A news report is information regarding an event that has taken place, not programing to lead or mislead the readers and viewers to a chosen conclusion.
