Media coverage of Adam Lanza -

Perfect media feast given fiscal cliff got boring?

CNN: "We should not mention his name to not give him his 15 minute of fame" (as part of their 20 hour coverage of the events)

Fox: "terrible, horrible, shocking - too early to talk about what to do though" (no mentioning of gun control AT ALL)

CNBC: "seeing the list of all the names, makes it all so much more real" (really, couldn't imagine what 27 dead bodies look like?)

CNN: "we will of course respect the privacy of the families affected...now let's go to Mike and Sarah who managed to get out of the school...Sarah, did you see any of the bodies?"

don lemon afraid to be seen as liberal talking to another guy. they both think there needs to be gun control but that other guy had a need to mention how the far left is wrong also by saying banning guns would solve the problems.

i don't see anyone who wants to ban or control claiming it would solve the problem. just like laws concerning car safety and other regulations we have are not always 100 percent.
