i am sure that the reverend phelps wonderful sentiments will be a real solace to the other students at va tech, to the families of those who were killed or wounded, and to the wider community. i am sure that all will be grateful for such christian words, such christian expressions of empathy and compassion. who wouldnt be?
cnn is obviously in pure reactive mode, its reporters running around to get any stray bit of bite-worthy response to help them give the illusion that the story is somehow under control. whatever. tv news lives for this kind of stuff, all scurrying about and breathless, idiotic reportage.
why anyone watches cnn--or any television "news" outlet in the states--and confuses it with information is beyond me.
