CNN vs NRA

Why is it that the media refuses to identify SOME victims and or perpetrators but parades others out on the TV like they are some kind of Superstar? The way the media is parading these kids who were at the Parkland, Florida shootings is silly. That is silly from a news point of view. The one and only reason they're parading these kids on TV is to circle the wagons against honest gun owners. These kids don't have anything newsworthy to say, they're just little figureheads that parrot what the media feeds them. "Are you sorry this happened? Do you feel helpless? Do you want to cry for us on national TV? It's ok to cry." At their age they are little more than vessels for angst and unbridled emotion of all kinds. some of them sob uncontrollably at the very thought of dissecting a frog. If TV news outlets want to provide objective information they could provide it in an atmosphere where interviews with these children and their parents were in print and or anonymous. That's's honest objective reporting. But when they film children and their parents in boundless, uncontrollable tears, they're going for an emotional angle and not an objective one. Then, when someone like the NRA rep calls them out on it, they try to take the high road. I say it again, having film interviews with blithering children and their parents does nothing to bolster the facts in a story.
