I have nothing against Gabby Giffords, she seems like a good person. I have to question WHY the media has to put so much focus on her. 6 people are dead, the only one we hear much about is a federal judge and a 9 year old. Others are still in the hospital, their lives have just as much meaning as a government employees does, yet we hear nothing about the other victims.
I guess you'd be in favor of the Obituary Channel. Reporting on all deaths, all the time.
Am I the only one? Every time the news comes on we get the ghory details of the latest procedure they did to her. Really, I could care less. Tell us if she dies, otherwise, who cares.
Some posts here seem kind of brutal like post number 79. I care since she seems like a nice lady and did nothing to deserve this but the cable news channels do go overboard on many things though like the anti gun stuff now.

I know Iowa is...well...Iowa. But I would assume you people have more that one TV channel down there....
I care deeply about her welfare, as well as the others who were injured. Like the others, I want to hear the updates. They have not left my mind and will not until they are all safely home.
I think what most of us see in the question is someone who is saying that they don't care about another person's misfortune, regardless of whether you like them or not. That also is a tragedy.
Just turn the news off for the next two weeks or so and then you won't be subject to it. Issue solved.
Although it was said clumsily by the OP, I think I get what they are saying. Too much info. It could be a screen crawl with only a news story if there is a major change in her condition.
If the judge had been the target, I also disagree that the other victims have been ignored by the press........
Political Deaths have been on the increase
