If media can't figure out how to cover terrorism without amplifying the conspiracies (straight-up "debunking" is amplification) that help inspire it and instead runs even more front-page profiles of the killer rather than analysis of WHY WE ARE HERE, we'll just get more copycats.

There has been a cascade of research, analysis, organization and many, many voices on this. I started writing about this in long-form around 2012. Media incentive is to keep us looking at this wreck, though. It's the business model plus ideology.https://twitter.com/markemer/status/1056229053949267968 …

Congrats, everyone sharing the killer's screenshots from the killer's social network of choice. They're thrilled with all the new potential recruits. (Yes yes this is how it works. Can't you report on what's going on without becoming recruitment tools? It's not that hard.)pic.twitter.com/7zoUuJHlOn

Amen. I feel like you may have pointed this out before. Why does no one listen?

I told all the other humans to be perfect and perfectly rational, but they seemed to continue to struggle with that, so then I stopped trying because they were no longer deserving of my compassion and effort.

That's not news; that's analysis. News is "what happened". You are asking for more analysis of why it happened. That's understandable, but news are geared to entertain and capture the attention of the masses, and the masses dislike deep thinking.
