The vampire media strikes again

A couple of nights ago, CBS Evening News covered a press conference held by the parents of Newtown on the one-month anniversary of that day. The parents had a message for America about the insanity of our gun laws, and it's fine that CBS covered this event.

But then the station went trolling for blood. They sent a bleached-blond, male creature -- I'm not sure what species he was, but definitely not human -- to interview the Barden family in their home.

The creature asked Mrs. Barden, "Do you let yourself think about that horrible day?" She answered, "It seeps in. But I try not to go there."

And the creature asked, "Why?"

He actually did that: asked this mother why she didn't want to think about the day her son was shredded by an assault weapon in his first grade classroom.

In response, she began to shake. After a moment, she replied, "Because it's too painful." And then she broke down.

Let us also note that her two surviving children, both youngsters, were seated beside her on the couch as this media rape occurred.

Seth Doane is the bleached-blond creature who pretended to be a human being. CBS is the station that planned and aired this disgusting "interview".

My revulsion is beyond words.

From Jason Rosenhouse

Rosenhouse carves up the religious wingnuts in his post, "Responses to Newtown":

Typical is this statement from James Dobson:

I am going to give you my honest opinion: I think we have turned our back on the Scripture and on God Almighty and I think he has allowed judgment to fall upon us.

Charming God they worship. He did not allow judgment to fall upon “us.” He allowed it to fall on a group of young children and the adults trying to protect them. Apparently it’s not enough for God to settle up with apostates in the afterlife. He has to allow children to be murdered in this one.

Well said. I love Jason Rosenhouse. I only wish he'd post more often. Because when he does, he invariably hits the nail on the head.

Vampire media

It's time for the media to pack up their microphones and cameras and be gone from Newtown -- but they won't leave until the last blood has been sucked from grieving residents. The reporters are vampires; this is what they do for a living.

Yesterday on CBS, I saw a female vampire interviewing a teenager. The young man said, "My neighbor up the street...her kid didn't come home." The reporter's response was to push the microphone closer to the kid's mouth and ask, "How was that?"

Ugh. Leave these poor people to their grief. Depart, unclean spirits. Return to the depths from whence you came.
