Now, the real news
Of all the interesting media events that I saw yesterday -- watching the news conferences of the police chief and the university president was fascinating to me -- the most surreal was on "Inside Edition."
Following NBC Nightly News, which featured some compelling coverage with anchor Brian Williams on campus, Inside Edition led with a few minutes on the Tech rampage, then without any break, flowed seamlessly into a story about the latest Britney Spears rant.
Update: By the way, reporter Amy Dominello is filing live reports on local students from Blacksburg throughout the day.
Update II: In the strange bedfellows department, Inside Edition and The NY Times have sponsored Google keyword searches for "Virginia shooting," AdAge reports.
