Letter: Media ignores larger crime crisis in city

I cannot even understand the pain of the innocent people of Highland Park and more so, the families of the victims, their loved ones and the entire community are incurring. I and every other civilized members of our society are left with the unending questions of why.

However, I cannot help but wonder why our news media puts so much focus on this one-time event, but sweeps under the carpet that more people in the city of Chicago were killed by gun violence on that very same weekend. One, or seven is too many, hundreds in the city is obscene. Where are the "journalists" of the so called third (or is it forth) estate?

They need get back to their job, instead of supporting the woke culture that is killing our society. Get off your butt and start doing you job, start raising the flag or admit you don't care. Either quit trying to make news or give up acting like you are actually reporting it.
