5. Agree. They almost seem to enjoy tragedies like this

I sad it last night that you could tell the difference between the media outlets that were covering this story. On MSNBC for example, Rachel Maddow - who covered the attack from Mass General looked like she could barely stand up and you could see the anguish, not anger, in her voice. It was difficult to watch. Then you look at Faux News and Hannity covering the events and he almost had a smirk on his face. Hannity and people like him love covering tragedies like this because their ratings go up and means more money for their pockets. That is why they have to keep the "fire of anger" well stoked.
