So, you'd like them to focus on a story that can itself be divisive because you perceive it to favor your point of view? Gotcha.
I mean, I can look at any news story and come up with angles to use to turn it into a wedge issue. We see it happening all the time on the entertainment-masquerading-as-news networks. Editorial discretion on what to push and when is notoriously one of the most frequently used tools to insert bias into news media.
Quite frankly, the fact you inserted race into this is itself very telling. I could easily see this story picked up by left-wing media and used to denigrate lax gun laws. Here we have Texas, one of the most firearm friendly states, where someone had complaints against him to law enforcement for discharging his firearm in his yard in a neighborhood, yet he was still allowed to possess those firearms after demonstrating such wanton disregard for public safety. The narrative surrounding this can go in many directions.
