Re: Connecticut shooting and the "race card".

I hadn't heard of this yet.

I just d "Connecticut Shooting", and hit up the first 5 results hoping to get the whole story. All five pages held the same half dozen soundbites of actual sited sources (all from AP).

What shocked me was the amount of editorial drivel surrounding the sparse facts that they all shared (up to 14 paragraphs in one case). I don't know if there's a single journalist left in America! We may live in the "age of information" but weeding through the opinions of not just commenters but the authors themselves is making the formation of an educated personal opinion almost impossible. I should have just waited until tomorrow morning to hear the true details of the event from BBC Radio rather than waste my time with this blog/news/editorial crap which just hides the facts to promote a personal agenda.
