Is the problem the amount of coverage or the tone of it? I don't watch TV news - I get my news from NPR and a variety of mainstream sources online (coverage isn't much better, but there are fewer commercials!) - so I haven't been paying attention to how they've been covering this. I'm not as interested in the stuff that sells ads - the heartbreaking tragedy stuff - as in what went wrong and how to keep it from happening again. At the very least, our crumbling and underfunded infrastructure is finally getting some attention. Who knows if that will result in action, but if it does the coverage will have been worth it.

You have to know when to turn it off and go for a walk.
