    They should. I’ve thought we should have a daily ‘Shootings’ report to go along with the weather report for years.

      exactly, sort of like the news in Cyberpunk 2077, where it’s in almost the same monotonous voice as the weather.

          Surprised they haven’t implemented the body lottery from Cyberpunk in real life somewhere.

    They need to start showing graphic photos of the corpses, kids so smashed apart they can’t identify them.

        In a perfect world it would force Americans to realise they need to fix their gun and shooting issues. But in our current world, people would just get outraged and ‘cancel’ this site.

        It’s like, ignoring the consequences of our public policy doesn’t make those consequences less real. By failing to make the public aware of such consequences, the media becomes an accomplice to policy failures.

        For reference, see the story of Emmett Till…

    Will they cover massacres supported by the USA in palestine and elsewhere? Will they talk about cops murdering people? These are the actual foundations of gun violence. It’s propaganda to only talk about the symptoms.
