I just turned on my local news that comes on at 4 p.m. here, and the lead story is about the bombing in Bali - the second was about the recent serial shooting in Virginia. At least here in Los Angeles, I know that we have had extensive coverage on the bombing as well as the serial killer.

I know that the New York Times (online) has had both covered quite well each day.

There are those people who just cannot stand all of this bad news - or they are busy - and they don't turn on the television for news or read the local paper.
