I just read a very touching story on one of the surviving victims: the woman who had brought the little girl to the rally/meet & greet and her attempts to sheild the little girl from the gunfire as well as how she is getting along with her own injuries both physical and emotional.

Anyway, its a 24 hour news cycle dude. Not like in the past. TV news is competing with twitter, google news, facebook....people aren't going to wait until the 6 o'clock action news anymore.

It's a story that has really caught the attention of the general population and the goal of amy news outlet is to serve their consumers. Besides the obvious political interests this is a human interest thing - she got shot in the head and lived.
