I live near Columbine and had a front-row seat to all of the mayhem and circumstance. I know the media took a beating over all the coverage... newspapers, television, cable, magazines, you name it. There were a handful of shootings after that and the media blasters blamed it on all the publicity surrounding and following Columbine. Admittedly, I had to agree they may have had a valid point.
I'd like to think the media is toning things down a bit, not giving school shootings front page importance anymore, but I'm too cynical to believe that. It's all about them focusing on Bushie's latest f*ckup IMHO (i.e. Terry), at the behest of the White House I'm sure. Don't know who gets to decide what's "important news" these days, but I can assure you they don't live at my house.
