But we cannot ignore the fact that before this killing occurred, most of the major media was 24x7 about the pardon of Hunter Biden, which was a case where he had already been punished heavily for acts that would have resulted in probation or no charges at all for anyone else. And while fixating on Hunter, the media completely ignored the fact that Trump has already compiled an enemies list of people he wants to persecute, like Hunter.
There really are more important stories that affect Americans' daily lives much more than Hunter's incorrect checkmark on a permit for a gun he owned a week and never used.
Have we really reached the point where the only way to get the media to focus on the concerns of the American people is to gun down a CEO? Those of us who are sympathetic to the millions of people whose lives have been destroyed by these insurance companies should accept no guilt trip if we can't muster an equal amount of sympathy for the one person whose life was taken on the other side of this battlefront. It is horrible that it has come to this point, but I hold the media highly accountable for this. If they had been doing their job the last 20+ years, our society would be in a completely different place.
