Asinine interview questions

#1 - Justin Webb, Radio 4, to one of the survivors of the Virginia Tech shootings:

'Obviously this is a great shock, you're all in shock, and yet, can you really be surprised?'

Well Justin, yes, it IS quite unusual for a gunman to shoot 32 of your fellow students while you're puzzling over your engineering homework, actually. Even in America.

As bad as this sounds this should not be front page news. Nor should it remain front page news.

Stories such as this, http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/6570241.stm
seem to be only about entertainment. There is nothing useful or informative about such a story.
