>>The news coverage has been unbelievable, the leading story for days now. Pardon any disrespect for the dead but it is completely out of proportion IMO. You would think a head of state or a living legend like Paul Newman or David Beckham had died. It lends credence to the view of the media as a shallow entity that latches onto the story du jour, however important or unimportant, and rides it as hard as it can as long as it can. > >Aye, our boys over in Iraq and Afghanistan who've been killed just this week, who've been doing a far more dangerous job, just get a mention of their names, and perhaps a quick interview with a grieving parent.
That's because TV-News are not news but entertainment. The reason I seldom watch them.
