Have you noticed in the media following the CT school shooting....?

Is in a race to be more sensitive than the other guy ? I understand the tragedy of the crime committed there...but its the media personalities, newscasters,pop psychologists etc falling all over them selves trying to be the closest to tears...most personally effected..furthest moved emotionally..etc.

Report the facts,,,including early historical context,,begin framing the debate, stop the over acting.

We know how to feel. We don't need your on air near breakdown. Here come the endless shots of the "makeshift memorials" erected at the scene. News ! News I say,,,not info-tainment the ultimate reality show.

    Yes. While some seem genuine,others are all too obviously forced.

    Only speaking from my own personal experience, controlling my tears was not optional. I assume that those that shed tears actually felt sadness for the little kids that were slaughtered.
