Without a doubt. I almost threw something at my TV when I absentmindedly left KCAL 9 news on after a Dodger game on Monday. Virginia Tech was of course the top story. Immediately after the 30 seconds of actual reporting on the facts, the very next thing was, "Being only 18 miles from our nation's capital, this tragedy reverberated through Washington DC. Let's turn to our analyst to discuss the political ramifications of today's events." Disgusting.

So I'm right there with you on that. I just don't buy into conflating it with any feelings about the reporting in Iraq, beyond my overall distaste for new reporting.
