I ran a gaming news website for several years, mostly a blog about MMO's but I'd cover whatever news I could get my hands on, and try to keep some decent traffic to the site. At it's peak I was getting around 10K hits a month, nothing in the big fish world of the web, but not bad either. I did make front page of /. a few times and my site stood up to those...

Anyhow one of the biggest trends in media that angered me was the "it's the games fault"... it's not the game, the kid was fucked up before he got the game, he just used the game to cope for a while... for all you know, the kid could have blown up earlier without the game as an outlet!
