This may come off sounding a bit harsh but it always amazes me how many people seem to have axes to grind, and how often those "axes" are actually more relative to their own ineffectualness than the actions of anyone else. And... precisely that seems to be the backbones of so many self-proclaimed "news and reporting" outlets.

If the best someone can come up with is that they are "feeling better than Fred," when Fred recently jumped off a cliff and died, then they have a pretty sad life...
