I'm calling on conservative Members of Congress to introduce tough media control legislation to ban publicizing and making killers famous.
Perhaps institute a "wait period" before reporting? MT @DiveConLFP: why not wait till you have facts then report, rather than speculate...

@mattklewis@DiveConLFP Law enforcement told reporters the shooter's name was Ryan Lanza. So the news media shouldn't report it? -
@MarcACaputo@diveconlfp That's why we need a wait period before reporting. -
@mattklewis@DiveConLFP We used to have wait periods (daily newspaper), 6:30 news. Insta-news makes this much more likely 2 happen -
@mattklewis 1 could argue: More media=more errors. More guns=more shootings. -
@MarcACaputo maybe. It's interesting that the worst examples of irresponsible/unethical reporting are coming from the MSM of late. -
