Watching the massive 24/7 coverage of the massacre in Aurora, Colo., coverage that will only serve to inspire some future twisted male mind to seek infamy -- to die hated but not unnoticed -- one cannot help but be disgusted.

I think you misunderstood her point. She was saying the 24/7 MEDIA coverage was what would undoubtedly inspire someone else to seek their 15 minutes of fame by doing something similar.

The whole article is about what is wrong with our rubber-necking society that is driven by an all-too eager press that pushes the envelope further and further with every tragedy.

I fail to see how the addition of that word amplified her points. Maybe I’m just stoopit.

I don’t think he misunderstood the point at all. However, by inserting “male” in there, the author distracts us from her point, by betraying her assumption that the next crazed shoot must be male, since she probably thinks it’s something in males’ nature that causes this behavior.
