I've contacted my Louisville station about their coverage of the bank shooting

I asked them why they cover shootings differently from drunk/distracted driving.
I'm fed up with days of coverage of every detail they can find -- picture, work history, education, etc. etc.
Aside from the "encouraging copy-cat" aspects and the fear-mongering the pure unchecked bias of their wallowing in the details is disgusting.
Anyone else feel this way?

Yes.
The school shooter needed attention and texted a friend that he/she would be in the news.
Apparently the bank shooter tried to live stream the attack.
Our news media is making these people heroes in a sick and perverted way, which feeds the twisted egos of those who crave the attention their lives are not gathering.

What Don said.
They want to ban firearms, not alcohol. Any bad publicity is good publicity for their demented cause.
