Police said four people had died, and 10 were wounded in the incident in Stockton. Later, the city's vice mayor confirmed that the shooting happened at a child's birthday party.
ah, that makes sense. I thought you meant they were just attaching the phrase to as much as possible, on stuff they were already reporting. not adding more reports based on content type.
can’t say I’ve noticed that, though, in the little I pay attention to msm
Has anyone else noticed how the national media latched on to the phrase “mass shooting” as a way to get clicks?
They realized how many people will click on anything labeled “mass shooting,” and adjusted accordingly. If it bleeds, it leads.
are you referring to this article as an example? because doesn’t this article fit the bill? over a dozen people injured, four dead
sure there’s maybe an argument over the threshold for duration of the event, but that’s surely enough victims, yeah?
I’m not talking about numbers.
To me it’s telling that the national media completely ignored these types of targeted shootings until there was a way to market them.
That’s quite weird to me! It’s like it’s national news until people just realize it was poor people fighting.

It’s inaccurate. 4 people have died, making it a mass murder. The other 10 mass shooting victims are then forgotten …or something.
Edit: honestly, kids, that’s the term.
