News Warns News Causes Violence

News outlets are now warning of a link between the distribution of news media and the rise in gun-violence across America.

After a rise in mass shootings this year across the United States, news outlets are now warning of a link between the distribution of news media and the rise in gun-violence. Recent studies show a direct link between viewings of televised and reported mass shootings and a meteoric rise in mass shootings. "We are beginning to see a direct link [between the distribution of news media] to that of a rise in deaths caused by gun violence." Researchers warn of a domino effect that news reports of gun violence can actually influence further gun violence.

"We've see this in modern social media, someone does some stupid shit, and then more people do stupid shit, and then you have the entire internet doing stupid shit." While it seems that guns are the root cause to much of the violence and homicide in the United States, the NRA has responded stating that "...it's simply a trend. Somebody shoots up a school and then somebody else wants to shoot up a school. They'll get over it... [Mass shootings] only happen every few months- who cares??"

"More troubling... by news outlets reporting of a link between the distribution of news media and the rise in gun-violence, we may soon see a rise in the distribution of news media reporting a link between the distribution of news media and the rise in gun-violence." claimed the lead researcher in human studies for The University of Chicago.

Fart Network warns of a link between the distribution of news media and the rise in gun-violence across America.
