Peshawar as opposed to Sydney.

You have to choose your sources carefully, but Twitter breaks most news first. You also have to remember that this news may not be accurate but it can be the beginning of a big story.

Two examples were Sandy Hook and the Boston Marathon Bombing. They began as tweets here and there. The Boston bombing escalated quickly.
Sandy Hook took more time to confirm, but it got worse and worse after each tweet. It was horrible.

Indeed I will never forget Sandy Hook

Live reporting could equate dead non reporting quickly.

Scum.

I still stand by my statement.

An eye for an eye makes the entire world blind.

BBC has non-stop coverage - there is no excuse for US media.
100 children are now dead.

Well let's just bury this story now along with the children. Humans can be so sickening sometimes. It's well beyond sad.

White and Asians while the perp is Islamist. 84 school children died in siege and situation room in CNN headquarters doesn't care.

CNN, fuck off.

We are talking about a region where government control is tenuous at best.

happened early this morning. More of a time difference than an editorial decision to ignore the slaughter of nearly 100 schoolkids.

on several news stations.

Outside the school. They are a Pakistani news service, but they feed to other news outlets like BBC.

an Australian TV station. There is no such live coverage today

He is the only Religious Animal. He is the only animal that has the True Religion--several of them. He is the only animal that loves his neighbor as himself and cuts his throat if his theology isn't straight. He has made a graveyard of the globe in trying his honest best to smooth his brother's path to happiness and heaven....The higher animals have no religion. And we are told that they are going to be left out in the Hereafter. I wonder why? It seems questionable taste.

Mark Twain

there may have been worse massacres, but never in memory have so many children been targeted.

These people are insane.

Children as young as two years old. An eye for an eye does not care about children.
BBC has excellent coverage including condemnation from unusual folks like cricketers and Bollywood stars.

No one can breathe on this planet and people are waking up.
