Fox News host Greg Gutfeld warned that the mainstream media is often too quick to analyze and assess situations that call for more reflection. The "Gutfeld!" host sounded off Friday about the media's coverage of last week's mass school shooting in Uvalde, Texas.
A transcript of Gutfeld's comments was published on Fox News Digital. "It's natural after a tragedy, I suppose, to report and report. It's necessary. But then what if there's not enough news to do more reporting?"
Gutfeld said the actual downfall of the media has been the tendency to speculate once reporting "runs dry."
"Everyone tries to outdo each other and be more perceptive than you. Are you more emotionally affected than me? The news becomes as productive as an argument with a meter maid," he said.
Gutfeld asserted that there are more factors at play in mass shootings tragedies than just the weapons that are used to kill innocent people.
"At least we should acknowledge our role in this. Right now, we just show up at the end of a crime," Gutfeld said. "But that crime is off at the end of a long, ugly road featuring clues that make us wonder why we didn't see it coming. It's like terrorism."
"You see how you could have prevented it after it's already occurred. The problem is the bad guys watch TV news too," he added.
