2 people is a "mass" shooting?

It describes the way the media "blows up" the facts. You didn't get that ?? I don't have time to explain jokes.

Well, since you have yet to post a joke that is actually funny, you have nothing to explain.

Every once in a while you do post a good one but for the most part they are anything but funny.

So, tell someone who really cares any......or whine to a man and someone around your own age.

I didn't like it cause it wasn't funny.
Two innocent people got blown away by a man with some serious mental health issues (sexual orientation not among them).
IMO the "joke" was in extremely poor taste.

The topic is MEDIA......the cartoon is about the ridiculousness & hype of MEDIA.....not the death of a certain 2 people. It could be any people. If you have further questions and complaints I suggest you direct them to the cartoonist himself.....looks like Glen McCoy!
Try to keep up!!

So rather than try to defend the
content you prefer to blame the author?

You are taking the joke out of context.

Political cartoons are not always meant to be funny. Some are drawn to drive a point home. Political cartoons are usually posted around here according to the subject they address......In this case, the media.
Maybe Mr. McCoy wanted the reader/viewer to be amazed at the media and how ridiculous they ....that's my take on it.

Mainstream media?

Mainstream media (MSM) is mass media reflective of prevailing currents of thought, influence, or activity.[1] It may be contrasted with alternative media which may contain content discordant with prevailing views.
Large news conglomerates, including newspapers and broadcast media, which underwent successive mergers in the U.S. and elsewhere at an increasing rate beginning in the 1990s, are often referenced by the term. This concentration of media ownership has raised concerns of a homogenization of viewpoints presented to news consumers. Consequently, the term mainstream media has been widely used in conversation and the blogosphere, often in oppositional, pejorative, or dismissive senses, in discussion of the mass media and media bias.
According to philosopher Noam Chomsky, media organizations with an elite audience such as CBS News and The New York Times, successful corporations with the assets necessary to engage in original reporting, set the tone for other smaller news organizations which lack resources by creating conversations that cascade down to smaller news organizations using the Associated Press and other means of aggregation. An elite mainstream sets the agenda and smaller organizations parrot it.[1]

No, she is clearly in her own unique context.
Why so grumpy today?
More than two people were shot, and there does not appear to be a strict standard for mass shooting, as compared to the FBI's criteria for mass murder.
