So ONE TV station mentioned it, and that’s supposed to be conclusive proof?

Proof of what? OP said that the news wasn't covering it. Another poster googled it and found that at least one station was covering it.

OP asked, “Anyone seen it on the news?”

The answer is yes, it was seen on the news. What’s your point?

I think you just pay more attention to crime in the east part of the county because that’s where you live.

Imagine the inverse proposition that you believe. Imagine that only crime in the western part of the county was widely reported. Wouldn’t the complaint be that the media only cares about affluent victims?

I honestly don’t understand what you’re arguing.

Why is nobody in the media covering this event I heard about through media coverage?!

Compare photo's of black victims vs white victims.

It's insane how badly they portray black victims.

My family is LEO's and it's is so frustrating how their victims are portrayed.

News is man bites dog, not dog bites man.

A shooting? Not really newsworthy.

That’s not an indication of bias in the news. It’s an indictment of a society where shootings are so commonplace that they amount to dog bites man.

Don’t shoot the messenger.

How do you know there was a shooting in Rockville if it wasn’t reported?
