Yeah they do.
At least this really is News though.
It's not Anna Nichole Smith ate an apple when she was 22 or
Britney Spears isn't wearing underwear
Tabloid crap passed off as Real News.

This is just that, and the media spotlight is just starting to shine of VT. The next few days will be wall to wall.
Why the media circles like a vulture over a carcass? Many reasons. Competition, ratings. Tragedy is always fodder for news. The Network news beast must be fed.

none of the media are happy that this happened of course. It is the deadliest in US history.. Agreed, the media over-reacts at times but they are basically reporting the news.
I didn't like the new coverage on Anna Smith because some of them made her out to be an icon, which I so disagree with.

I don't think ,the media "loves" tragedy like this one , maybe they exaggerate at some points. The RECORD is sad because only in America this could happen. Guns ,guns, guns. For this stupid right given to everyone to carry a gun many innocent people lost their lives today.

Who cares if they are having a field day with this, if they didn't have such a big story on it, we would most likely not know about it. It is a huge story though. How sad that all those people died.

EXACTLY!
The media is nothing but a bunch of vultures sinking their claws into anything and everything that is wrong w/ this world.

So we do not need to be told about this? Or would you put restrictions on our free press? You just like to complain. Go back to sleep!

I was thinking the same thing. I'll bet then next case won't be too long in coming either.

you are talking about it arent you? that means it is big news. If they did not cover it you would be like "dont you think this was newsworthy?"

Yes, they love it. One of them has already mentioned that he is "afraid" of copycats.
