The father of a student went off on MSNBC or CNN, went off on the NRA and went off on Repubs. Made me go look at how the County voted in 2016, 2 for 1 HRC.

A couple things at play, I think the majority or near majority of Americans are pissed off, and they are pissed off at tRump first, then Repubs. Those in the media that aren't bought off are pissed so those in the media that typically tamp things down or play both sides are to blame, are reluctant to make a stand. They are in fear that they will be called out on the B.S.

Now it does make me wonder, in past events, how much work did the media do for the repubs? Did they not provide time to the pissed off classmates and/or parents? Colombine was different, a higher shock level. But I seem to recall numerous Sandy Hook parents trying to be heard, yet getting minimal time on cable news.
