I don't even know how to title this appropriately...

This story, (Police: Woman runs over teens after golf ball hits her car), is seriously fucked up! I decided to eat lunch at my deck today, and after finishing up, didn't feel like going "back to work" just yet. I had finished reading some blogs, and the only thing I could think of was to check out the top stories on the CNN website. Boy, was that a mistake! The headline doesn't do it justice, ("injustice", might be a better word), you have to read the details to get the full shock. I can't comprehend it, honestly.

After writing my previous blog post, and me thumbing my nose at the mainstream media, you think I wouldn't have done this. I would say this was another attempt at the media using sensationalism to exploit tragedy for the almighty dollar, while in the process, making us all more cynical and jaded.

But CNN wouldn't let me have it. Right below it was the headline "Tipster turns down $40,000 reward for murder arrest". It's like they were trying to balance it out on purpose, (think it will take more than that, though). It all seems a bit sicker when you take this into consideration. Or maybe I'm just too cynical, (gee, wonder how that happened?).
