Other things the media is doing wrong in regards to this mass shooting other than differences in coverage length:

- Plastering his manifesto everywhere

- describing the shooter in a neutral way, such as a “man wearing body armor and tactical gear”

- plastering the body count everywhere

This is EXACTLY what motivates these sickos to act. The media is perfectly playing into his hand, dancing the dance he wanted them to do

I can’t fault them for neutral coverage, but how I would cover the story would be like this:

“Boy coward targets vulnerable unsuspecting people in attack”

That’s it, no body count, no describing the scene like an action movie, no name of the shooter, and calling him a coward/insulting him

Do this for every mass shooting
What Main Stream Media?

He live streamed it himself.

He even referred to himself as a White Supremacists.

I mean all he had to do was come out and say that he wishes he was with the proud boys when they stormed the capital and got a lynching like wanted.

But yeah let’s all be neutral about this.
