I'm not liking the seeming joy the media gets out of reporting these stories. These journalists live for this stuff to happen.

I can't go to one website and see the entire front page of the website devoted to what happened in Boston. I'm not saying it doesn't need to be documented, but man... is it selfish that i just don't want to see it? Not disrespecting the victims, but moreso I really don't want to be reminded every 5 minutes what happened today. It was horrible and my sympathies are with those involved, and at that I guess I should just turn my computer and TV off for a few days and go about my life because I really hate giving the media any mouseclicks or pageviews, promoting their wonderful service of reporting on other people's losses. Turns my stomach to think about it.


Edit- and I really hope the one guy in the particularly gruesome photo on TheAtlantic- I hope that guy made it. That was bad, and it looked as though he was conscious, holding on. And seeing the people helping that guy, jumping into action- the dude in the cowboy hat, I bet he didn't even know the guy. Wild.
