Why does the media love to ignore the victim and victimize the killer?

Question

Some examples include:

- 9/11 (paying more attention to Muslims who feel "victimized" instead of focusing on the victims)

- VA Tech shooting (putting all the limelight on the shooter, but ignoring the victims)

Answer 1

In regards to the VA Tech shooter, I feel the media focused more on him b/c they wanted to show how his mental issues went ignored. He acted out in class multiple times & did exhibit strange behavior. He had def. psych issues that seem to have gone ignored. Also I feel the media wanted to show the world, what was going on in the mind of someone who could be so bold as to kill innocent people.

As for 9/11, I don't know why the media would place so much attention on the victimized muslims, when they should focus on the victims and their families. The media likes to create & keep drama going, which is why watching the news sometimes proves to be frustrating.

Answer 2

Isn't it ridiculous? The courts often ignore the victim(s) too! Sad but true!

Answer 3

So then I can write the criminal's names in my Death Note. Cuz the human who's name is written in my Death Note shall die a painful f-ucking death, heart attack by default, but if you want you can write down the details concerning the death.
