Journalists shot, killed in Virginia during live shot

Trump: Mental health, not gun problem - CNNPolitics.com Makes perfect sense.

 

I'm sure you are making a point with all of these examples, but for the life of me I can't figure out what it is. Regardless, it is interesting to see all the ways it is being played across the nation.

 

This is my point.

I was seeing if the Wall Street Journal coverage was an anomaly or not among large newspapers.

Obviously it was a very considered decision on the paper's part to put it inside like that.

 

I'm not going to get any deeper into this thread, but I'll just say it's beyond tacky that its front-page presence on this event is written by the "television critic."

 

Written by the TV critic... So she can tell us if it's good TV ??

... And with the lede "To watch or not to watch."

This is not an episode of Grey's Anatomy. Give me a motherfucking break, LA Times.

 

No, no.

Guns are the main problem.

But due to the Constitution, there's little we can do about them. Mental health, education, and every other solution is just another Plan B.

 

Ah, understood. I couldn't tell if you were saying the papers that played it on the front were sensationalizing it or were doing it better than the WSJ. I know you fear excessive coverage can create copycats, so I thought this might have been examples of that.

 

Watching the network affiliates and their 10 o'clock news shows last night it struck me how much they promote their early morning shows. It just felt eerie seeing those last night and thinking of yesterday's tragedy.

 

Right. I do believe that. And I thought that maybe the WSJ is coming around to that idea, too.

 

Isn't the Wall Street Journal a different bird, though? It's mainly a national financial publication, and this week is a pretty unusual week in financial markets. The WSJ is not a "general interest" newspaper like the rest of the ones you posted. It is not USA Today.

 

I think that's overblown. When big news breaks, it covers it like everyone else.

 

Really went with "To watch or not to watch." ???

I laughed but not because it's funny.
