The Media ''Experts'' Got it Wrong About the Virginia Tech Massacre
Posted by: Dr. Mercola

If you enjoy The Daily Show's Jon Stewart's acerbic take on politics and current affairs as much as I do, you'll be amused, then a bit disgusted, watching this short video that condensed the take of various media pundits about the recent Virginia Tech massacre.

Dr. Mercola's Comment:

After first patting themselves on the back for doing "a sensitive job," the attention of various media outlets turned to filling all the dead air surrounding the motives of the gunman -- a much-debated topic I recently discussed -- with a search for a scapegoat to blame.

Possibilities they brought up included society as a whole, liberals, YouTube, pop culture, gun laws, video games and even Rosie O'Donnell. I was reminded of this cartoon on the subject.

Instead of letting a media figure's personal hobbyhorse dictate how you feel about this tragedy, look inward, and find an answer for yourself.
