2. Not really. Consider how The Onion handled the 9/11 attack. "HOLY FUCKING SHIT!"

That's the only time I know of where the site did an editorial. They explained that they could either ignore it or run with it. They gave it two weeks, both out of respect and to figure out a strategy, but decided that the nature of the site required that they deal with it in a way consistent with the theme. Of COURSE That wasn't respectful, but they acknowledged that and moved on. The right wing still can't get over it.
