Ignoring Virginia Tech

Ignoring Virginia Tech is the title of the article that the above link goes to. It goes on about how there haven't been firearm rules put in place a year after the tragedy. They don't talk about it not being guns that kills people but the nutt jobs that get their hands on them and blah blah blah.

The real ignoring of Virginia Tech was today on news channels. I even worked from home today because I was expecting some good coverage of my great school and the wonderful people that find this gem in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Everyone that knows me knows of my love of Virginia Tech so I won't go into that here. The problem I have is that the news coverage today spent only a few minutes on Virginia Tech and it was the same old footage we have seen for a year. The large cop running with the AR-15, the student being carried out by for emergency workers, the candle light vigil, and a shot of the drill field. Then they go the their real coverage for the day. The pope was in DC. Unfortunately I think the only reason the media was all over that is that they were expecting the shit to hit the fan especially having the Pope and the President in the same place at the same time. Then they go to the radical Mormon compound in Texas and have some of the mothers on for what seems like forever. They really chose people that should not be interviewed. I had to change the channel after about 3 minutes of listening to them very s l o w l y explain their side of their story. Then, Oh My, Martha Stewart's dog died. Shucks. That deserves air time.

There you go. The real ignoring of Virginia Tech. Thanks News Media. Maybe next time you can get Paris Hilton flashing her crotch and interview some idiots whose house just flooded for the 20th time because they keep rebuilding in a flood plain. Maybe that last part is insensitive but I'm not sorry because maybe someone that needs to see it will read it and move to the mountains.
