I really haven't seen this particular coverage, but reporting of that kind always irritates me. In the first couple of days, there were very few facts available on the Blacksburg shooting and when that is the case, comment and opinion fills the void. Those 24 hour news schedules have to be filled somehow.

It does always make me wonder why people give the interviews though. I am fairly sure that if I lost a family member in such tragic and bewildering circumstances, the last thing I would be prepared to do is talk to the press about how I felt.
