Come back, Walter Cronkite! The world needs you.

The news media, especially T.V. news get a get fat F from me for their lousy coverage of Virginia Tech. The extraordinary vapidity of T.V. personalities (I won't call them reporters) comes through when they have to go off script. They don't have any real news, so they fill the air with rumors and innuendoes. They cry crocodile tears while their eyes show the ghoulish glee they are taking in being part of a 'big' story. They profess sypmpathy and empathy, and yet come across as hypocritical and maudlin. And by late afternoon, they are already playing a blame game.

Poor performance.
