The media is still a pack of bloodthirsty ticks. Shoving microphones and cameras in the face of any grieving student they can find. God help them if they ever tried that to me. There is a time to grieve and the media needs not be a part of that. Not initially. Part of my post this morning…

Newscasts are covering every imaginable angle to this story -- really, really reaching in some cases -- and you know there are other news events we should be hearing about. It's sad.

It would be too depressing. And the fact that I am still "studying" in a university (despite being in Malaysia) still scares the shit out of me :( You know, I am actually refraining myself from watching the many videos released by news portals.

I literally see them as carrion birds, circling their weakened victims. I've been fed up with all this media crap since Oklahoma City.

I don't know if seeing the images makes people feel like they can make sense of it. I certainly hope not. The incident was senseless. No one should become immune to the images...and that's what I think the over-exposure does. Great post!!!
