One story sticks in my mind about Newtown. They kept saying it was the worst school tragedy in the history of mankind, all made possible by the AR15. I read a story about some whacko in the late 1800's who blew up a school with a home made bomb and killed over 50 people. Makes you wonder if anything has really changed or if we just get to hear about everything now so it makes it seem worse.

One of the problems is there are so many news outlets looking for viewers they must bring more to the table and bring it all faster. To do some of that, they must overplay everything that happens.
Add to that exactly what the OP started this thread pointing out, they cannot help themselves but to slant everything towards the way the news casters see it, politically.
