    Oh spare us your conspiracy theories. What you’re suggesting would only be possible if all major media were in coordination. I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say that you have an idea about who “controls the media”. 🙄

      It always cracks me up how people like the guy you responded to are sooo close to getting it. It’s a “yeah, and it is really shady that all these local channels and major media outlets are owned by the same mega rich people!”

      And then, when we are so close, they start in the globalist crap. Dude, you almost had it!

      It’s not a conspiracy or even hidden. The media shows what they want to show. They showed this shooting until they achieved their goals and stopped showing it. It is absolutely possible that each major media corporation did exactly what they wanted for their own goals at the time, no coordination needed, just that most of them are politically similar so their goals were fairly close. Shootings where attention promotes left leaning ideology are kept in the spotlight so long as they generate attention, any time that a right leaning narrative pops up they instantly drop all coverage. This isn’t a crazy conspiracy, it is a simple fact. Vegas resulted in Trump banning bump stocks; it succeeded and then was forgotten for whatever the next useful headline was that popped up.
