One Trick Ponies

In the wake of the horrific Virginia Tech shootings, the news media failed the public once again.

After the initial tragedy was sorted out and the world became aware of what happened cable and local news swamped the airwaves with coverage, but not news. Talking heads, psychiatrists and even dream analysts barked about hypothetical situations and a whole bunch of hind sight debates.

Of course Americans were curious and wanted to know more, but once fresh information from Tech stopped comming in then news programs should have reported on the other important events that were affecting the rest of the world.

Unfortunately, NBC, CNN, FOX and the rest of the credible news networks sensationalized the tragedy in a clear attempt to get ratings.
