True, but we can be sure they WON'T talk about law enforcement. About putting people who commit crimes in jail and keeping them there. About actually enforcing the 200 federal gun laws we currently have. They'd rather talk about how stressful investing is.

Now we are going to be inundated with the worst kind of punditry... gun violence AND financial market drama. Commentary on this incident is going to go on for weeks. seems to be the nature of modern 'journalism'. We get the headlines from the traditional sources but the ongoing 'coverage and analysis' comes from the new 24/7 'new media'. Whether CNN, CNBC, MSNBC, internet etc. we get analysis from people with a need to attract viewers. Whether is Geraldo, Larry, Ollie, Rush, Chris or whoever we get very little objective reporting and a whole lot of posturing and proseletizing. Doesn't matter if it is OJ, Jon-Benet, JFK jr, Kosovo, the Clinton follies or yesterday's incident. It all gets the same treatment.
