[substitute]

Watch the page 14 little bits of the news for the next couple of days to see what they try to hide behind the vast outpouring of Princess Di-type wailing and gimpschmerz over the death of Mr. Reeve. Just a friendly reminder from your pal the Paranoid Cynic.

what's worse is the whining of every joe shmo with a livejournal.
The media has some sort of "obligation" to write an article, listening to your friends list complain about how this is affecting them so deeply is the most annoying thing ever.
did you know him? then shut the fuck up.

He was one of the most visible champions of a specific cause. Perhaps people are making the facile assumption that any hope for that cause died with him?

I don't give a shit either...I'm just saying.

How long until CNN has a graphic for it? My money says by lunch.

I think that's unfair -- you don't have to know someone personally to be sorry he's dead.
