Having fun with the Bing AI

My question, " How did news become entertainment"?
Answer: "News became entertainment as a result of several factors. One of the main reasons was the transformation of network news into a profitable business. The formula for making network news profitable was to make the product more entertaining. When stories are told in ways that engage the audience, often by touching their emotions, news programming can generate high ratings and revenues."
I think we have an answer.

"A good guy with a gun"

With all of the very recent mass shooting events, one thing seems to be missing from these news "reports".
Where is the "good guy with a gun" narrative? Truly, this should be easily demonstrated. (except those that patiently waited outside the classroom in Texas)
I put this in the same vein as those that praise the iron lung in the height of polio in this country, absent the vaccine.
