Summary: Columbine: Whose Fault is it?, by Marilyn Manson

            In the article Columbine: Whose Fault is it?, by Marilyn Manson, talks out after a Colorado School shooting, after the news said that he was a huge contributor by the kids listening to his music, and says that since the beginning, we have been violent. Marilyn hates the fact that Time magazine puts killers on the covers just the same as they would put in a celebrity. Our society is so violent, that we applaud the creation of a bomb whose only purpose is to kill all of humanity; but it not about how much more violent we've become, it how much television time the violence gets, and in all reality, what else is on instead of something violent.
            When something so violent happens, especially when its kids killing other kids, the media doesn't blame the children who killed, explains Manson, but rather try to find a scapegoat to make the killers look like victims rather than the ones who did wrong.

            America’s media has a role to play off any violent and sad act as entertainment, and it come to a point that, because there’s so much of it on TV, it's become a normal thing to see, and in fact, even sought after; and then we wonder why our society is so much more violent than any other country.
