In the wake of the horrific school shooting on Wednesday at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in South Florida, various news outlets, seemingly trying to convince the public that an astronomical number of school shootings have occurred in 2018, promulgated the claim that the Wednesday shooting was the 18th school shooting since January 1, 2018, by running with that narrative at the top of their articles.
This post was deleted for the following reason: Nah. There's an open thread about the shooting, here, and this looks like a goddam stinkbomb regardless. -- cortex
This news outlet is currently blaming the school shooting on the FBI's Trump-Russia investigation.
I'm not saying they're wrong on other things, but they're pushing an agenda.
