AllSides Media Bias Rating: Lean Left
The shooting massacre in Uvalde garnered huge attention on social media in the immediate aftermath of the attack, but it's unclear how long that focus will last.
Why it matters: The attention to the attack shows the country isn't numb to shooting tragedies — it's overwhelmed by them.
Details: Data provided exclusively to Axios by NewsWhip shows a public surge of interest in the immediate aftermath, peaking above even the 2018 shooting at Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla.
