your analysis of the media as a single-minded, monolithic entity is simplistic. the "media" frequently do not lie intentionally, even though what the media say is frequently untrue, half-truth, manipulation of the truth, etc. those untruths reflect how well the producers of media (at the reportorial level, not at the ownership level) are enmeshed in the status quo. many of the untruths are not produced by dishonest people, but rather by people who are unable (or unwilling) to see outside of a dominant world view. your own interpretation of the columbine shootings as motivated primarily by racist fascism reflects a similar inability on your part.
