I am sorry all those soldiers were killed in the recent Fort Hood shooting, but while waiting for President Obama to finish meeting with family members of the victims and start the memorial service Tuesday afternoon, CNN reporters just kept babbling and babbling, oftentimes repeating what another reporter had just said, just to fill the silence.
I know that the newscasters have to fill audio time until any real news begins and I image it's hard to talk continuously for long minutes at a time when there's nothing new to report but it's getting to the point that Wolf Blitzer and his colleagues are parodying themselves.
I was almost finally getting to a point when I was tuning them out when one of the reporters called the shooting victims "heroes." I'm sorry if I offend anyone, but just being in the military does not make one a hero. From what I understand, the only real hero in this episode is Kimberly Munley, the female police officer who shot Maj. Nidal Hasan in an exchange of gunfire.
