What has changed?

With Jonesboro and Columbine, the media couldn't show us enough pictures and breathy, wall-to-wall coverage.

Yesterday, it happened again.

The body count was higher than Jonesboro, and almost as high as Columbine.

And it barely registered a crawl across the bottom of the screen or a "top-of-the-hour" one-minute news alert blurb.

What has changed?

Is it because we have a different administration in Washington?

Or is it because Native American kids being killed is not worth spending as much valuable airtime on as Pretty White Kids being killed?

Or have we become so cynical that such things are no longer news?

The networks finally started giving some coverage yesterday.

It seems they were waiting until they could come up with a headline -- Rampage At Red Lake.

Not the best reason to delay a story, IMHO.
