Let me tell you, as someone who isn’t getting news from television or the formerly awesome Breaking News (a digital news aggregator that was bought by NBC and later shutdown in 2016), things are bad when you hear about a mass shooting a day after it occurs. This shouldn’t be happening but it should be the worst thing making headlines. The fact it got drown out by President Dumbberfuckle Trumperdickle isn’t good.
Here in Florida, it was on the news the instant it happened, and EVERY local news station immediately sent their top anchor to the school. The 6 pm news had all of them broadcasting from campus.
In fact, coverage of the shooting was so pervasive, that a local CVS burned out during the incident, injuring 3. I’m still trying to find any follow up news coverage, but they skipped it almost entirely. A major pharmacy had a major fire in the middle of the day, and I’d like to know why. How did it start? Was it arson? Was it terrorism? Is there surveillance footage? Why are authorities so quiet about it? Why isnt the news following up on it, and finding the most basic answers?
The FSU shooting sucked up 100% of the bandwidth, and there were no other stories that day, except sports and weather, of course.

This seems like user error to me. Find better sources for news.
I usually use news.google.com and click on the “full coverage” button for individual articles.
This shooting was the top story immediately, and stayed up for at least 1-2 days
