So agree. I check out about 5 major online News sites every day. I call 2 of these "Pravda" as they almost always totally favor 'one side' of the spectrum. In this horrifying case - same. A slight mention in a sub-headline for one day. BUT on the same day, and after, a large pic and long article of a 'person' who was roughed up by the police as he charged them with a weapon. No shots, but a puffy eye. As usual, demands for firing and investigation, and no doubt attorneys booked flights there. Typical Media editorial narrative and selective topics.
I always say it's no wonder some of the public view things in the way they do - due to the prism of news and opinions fed to them. Thankfully we do have some news sources that (mostly) provide a blend and somewhat "fair". For those who get 'their news' from ONLY their favored sources - it may very well be slanted. Much like Pravda in Russia and other 'State Media' in other countries.
