I agree that sensationalizing things just gives the thug what they want. However, it's important that we know what's going on and, personally, I'd rather find a diversity of opinions here, from all over the world (not to mention some anonymity so people can comment freely) vs. Facebook. I don't go reading news sites and I don't have cable tv.
As long as people are discussing, which they usually are, this is a productive place and a "real" discussion, or as real as it can possibly be.
Now, for the negative sensationalizing, that's all on the media and pay-per-click model, "custom" tailored feeds that pump people full of only their view, etc. You want to blame someone, go blame Facebook (and soon others) for their Live video - that is going to give so many ample reason to go out with a horrible bang, as long as the world sees.
