It is the same with any criminal act. Take a serial killer, for example. The media goes into detail about what has happened, and copycat killers spring up. The media likes to show the weaknesses, and terrorists take advantage of that.

Yes they should cover terrorism. Otherwise morons will think it's not a real threat. Kind of like how the majority of Americans seem to have forgotten about 9/11.
To the other genius who answered...Good luck with that loverrism thing. That's very realistic.

Terrorism completely depends on the news media. It's a tool that desperate minorities use to get coverage to their "cause".
Every time CNN lies about how "badly" the effort in Iraq is going, the small percentage of Muslims who are fanatical, murdering savages, the Jihadistan, has another victory in their war to destroy Western Democratic Societies.

Yes, If Hillary gets elected terrorism will disappear from the news media and liberals will be in utopia. Let a republican get elected and terrorism will fill the news media to epidemic portions.

I think the media needs to back off in a lot of areas.
