According to the main stream media, they are involved in an objective search for truth and do the best they can to find reality and then report on that. Everyone knows, of course, that a totally objective search for truth is difficult to impossible because of the inherent biases we all have along with the inherent limitations in the search for information.

The reality is, however, that trust in the main stream media is at all times lows. There is a reason for this. Back in the 1980s, several universities started teaching narrative journalism. Aspiring journalists were told they had a responsibility to create the narrative; they had to be apart of shaping the story. Now have a new generation of journalists, many whom no longer believe that there is such a thing as objective reporting.

How does this affect you? Specifically, how in the case of the Danforth shooter, did we wind up with a narrative that mental health is the problem and gun control is the answer.
