 Did the media help pull the trigger? - SteelSpark
I post this here, because there has been a lot of discussion on the case (on a thread in the motoring section), and I know that there were a few strong viewpoints on the role of the media - so I thought it might interest some.

This line stuck out for me

" We present the killer as larger than life, rather than the truth: that these people are smaller than life, leading pitiful, hate-filled existences."

It summed up what I often thought when I saw profiles of the guy in the media, and it also reminded me of a documentary that I saw years ago, where a murder detective drew a comparison about the glamourous killers and dramatic murders portrayed in films/TV dramas and the pathetic individuals and squalid, mundane crime scenes he actually encountered.
