Is It Just Because It's The Silly Season?

And all the 'real' reporters are on holiday somewhere? Though if any of them are skiing in Aspen, you'd have to assume they'd know about the latest mass shooting in Denver

I had to find out about this shooting in Denver on imgur.com - normally the home of humourous memes & photo hosting. A few people posted images etc about a shooting in Denver & I realised I'd seen nothing about it in my newsfeed, which has 2 national/international news sites on it, as well as current affairs etc... Not a word

I have friends in Boulder, not far from Denver, so wanted to make sure this guy hadn't wandered down the highway to their neighbourhood. Fortunately, it seems he didn't, but then, Boulder had its own shooting incident not that long ago, so maybe he didn't want to be accused of copycatting...

Blah blah... thoughts & prayers. Blah blah NRA excuses... Blah blah... reset & repeat
