That's a subjective question overall, and one that has a wide array of opinions in response to it.

Generally speaking, the media does tend to report on violent acts and they do tend to show increasingly graphic images when doing so. This in turn can be directly attributed to higher ratings for the show, which further increases the propensity to be graphic.

Essentially, yes. Viewers tune in to see the violence, so that's what the media shows, which increases the viewers exposed to violence. Those exposed to violence have a tendency to become more interested in it (it is interesting after all), and they may seek out more violence to view.

It does have a cyclical affect.

Which came first or to what extent these functions of human nature build off each other is up for debate, but that they function together and lead to an increased display of violence - and that people are interested in seeing the increased displays of violence is fairly well documented.
