I am a bit frustrated. In Atlanta, where things were simply awful, and 4 were killed, all eyes were watching. Now, in this situation 7 are dead, plus the perp, and others injured. Still have heard little. Just a bit now on CNN.
It's weird, isn't it? Right now Fox is still talking about Nichols and continuing to show the same tapes of him walking into the courthouse. Not that it's not an important story, but for goodness sakes, they're alomst ignoring the Wisconsin shooting.
I've been changing channels looking for information on Wisconsin, but there's been very little. I don't know what these cable news shows are thinking sometimes. Maybe they invited all these guests to talk about Nichols and don't want to break away from what they prepared. ("But, but, we were all set to talk about Nichols!") That happens a lot.
You'd think cable news stations would be best at breaking news, but they're not. And unfortunately, Fox is one of the worst, especially on weekends.
I noticed the same thing. I live in Se Wisconsin and when I went to CNN and FOX the emphasis was on the Atlanta Court House killings and the Nichols killing spree. As well it should have been. Nichols killed a judge in a court. Killing judges in courts is barbaric and is anarchaic. We will never survive as a civilization if we allow people to assassinate our public officials. What happened in Brookfield, Wisconsin, today, was a random act of violence. What happened in Atlanta was anarchy, meant to destroy our basic faith in our system. The Atlanta assault along with the murders of Judge Lefkow's Mother and Husband should put us all on notice that we must protect our public officials. What happened in Brookfield, WI today disturbs me. What I really fear, though, is that the killing of judges and their families will put us back into the dark ages.
