When is enough enough? Don't get me wrong I feel bad for those injured and deceased, but the media has overblown this coverage. I know the city of West in Texas isn't glamorous as Boston but more people lost their lives, more injured and way more damage. I am guessing since it was "just" a fertilizer plant and not a bombing it's not important. Where is the 1West Fund?

I digress.

Anytime you turn on CNN there is Boston, whether it's at the ball park, at a Dunkin Doughnuts, a Starbucks, where ever.

I don't want to see the video of them walking their route, I don't want to see their pictures, I don't care about their mom/dad, wives, classmates, people that "didn't truly" know them. Enough is fn enough.

Just take the kid that survived, tie his ass up to a telephone poll, have people shoot nail guns at him, chop off his legs and then blow him up.

I guarantee nobody will fuck with America like that again.

One last thing, fuck the ACLU. These fn clowns need to push their agenda anytime they can. Fuck them. The victims had their liberties taken away from them, this ass clown doesn't deserve any nor the dignity to be called an American.

What's your thoughts?

it's revolting just how much these media outlets are slobbering over themselves and their coverage.

and then boston and america say "this is boston's 9/11!", just to make things even more dramatic.

the media actually loves these events, it's huge dollars for them.

Welcome to todays american media. Its all about the mighty dollar. They will beat this drum untill the next tragedy happens.
It's not news, its entertainment. ... its sad but true.

The sooner the public clue in and realize cnn and the other major so called news networks are not actually reporting news that informs, helps or betters the general public, the better off we will be and maybe then we might acually hear some material that's news worthy. The fact, that governments and multi billion dollar corporations run the major news networks, should tip off the average person that someone usually has an agendy attached to the so called "news" they beat like a dead horse.

Its sad, but the majority of people still believe what they see/hear on the news. If you hear/see it often enough, it must be true ... no ?

They are innocent, or a least they should've been treated as such until proven guilty. Anyways, the news coverage has been more than annoying.

You guys are right it's all about money and ratings = $$$. There is just much more going on in the world and country as a whole. Could you imagine what would have happened if this took place last year before the election. That would have been quite interesting to see how this would've played out.

The reporting on these breaking news stories are piss poor. There was a constant flow misinformation, and flat our incorrect reporting going on from all the cable new networks. It's just pathetic how they try to rush the story out to people without confirming the accuracy of the report. None of the cable news networks have any credibility as far as I am concerned.

John Stewart says it perfectly


I normally don't watch shows like his as they are pretty useless. However I will say this video was funny especially with that asinine comment by the reporter at the end.

I bet some of you whining slits would have a slightly different opinion if you or a family member were sitting in a hospital bed wondering how life without a leg is going to play out.

Actually I'd be ever more pissed they are giving these guys the air time they are giving them. At the same time, I wouldn't be watching it, as the family member would be getting my attention not the media. I am sure it would be this way for everyone else as well.
