While I agree that it is a terrible thing that happened, and my heart goes out to the victims' families, I think it is being a bit overhyped.
The media is calling it a national tragedy, a total of 28 dead (including the shooter and his mother)and it is suddenly a tragedy. Yes, a 22 of whom were children, but it still doesn't make it a tragedy.
And then Obama addresses the situation, gets a little teary and the media calls it "breaking down". First of all, he kept talking, after a few pauses, but he kept talking. He RUBBED HIS EYES a few times and the media calls it "bursting into tears"
I hate the media, I really do, they overhype everything they get their hands on. Yeah, its a very bad thing that happened, its terrible. But it is NOT a tragedy, I am sorry.
While the media does over exaggerate at times, this is without a doubt, a tragedy. To say otherwise is wrong. It's not even subjective. And this is by no means overhyped. At all. There hasn't been a shooting like this that I can remember. Ever.
