Wow. This kind of crap passes for news these days.
He was "mean"?

He killed 32 people. No sh!t he was mean. That's the headline of their web site?

I agree with the cons on this point. CNN is an utter piece of crap.

I agree. My impression is that FOX basically took the local news approach (murders, car crashes, fires get ratings so show them, real news not so much) to national news and CNN followed suit not long after.

PBS' news show still seems like the news of old and actually goes into some depth on issues. I have no idea about the network news programs.

and again, I wish the media would quit reporting all this doom and destruction stuff, and show us all the good things that are happening in America right now.

Yes, the insurgency here is in its last throes!

Yes. And I think Howdy Doody would be a great network anchor for this.

I think they were quoting one of the teachers who tried to engage Cho...
