Reader with a Cause discussion

Solnit cites several examples of the ways that the media dismisses violence as a “mental health issue.” In “#YesAllWomen” she writes:

“Mental illness is, however, more often a matter of degree, not kind, and a great many people who suffer it are gentle and compassionate. And by many measures, including injustice, insatiable greed, and ecological destruction, madness, like meanness, is central to our society, not simply at its edges.” (p.122)

Have you seen examples in the media like this? What effect did this portrayal have on the coverage of the case and your reaction to it?
