Is the media any worse than those who seemingly rush to be the first to post news of any accident on this site and usually link to an online news site with little or no (or totally wrong) news?
Is it our desire for such stories as soon as possible (stuff the facts) that promotes the media's rush for any story (again, stuff the facts)?
Don't get me wrong, I have very very little respect for the media as a whole (some exceptions) but in this case I believe the rush for the gutter is not totally their fault.
UTR (putting soap box back under desk)
