The Onion: "F*ck Everything"

The Onion nails it with their gut-wrenching article on the shooting at an elementary school in Newtown, Connecticut - not just America's anger and despair, but also the thoughts running through reporters' heads as they try to cover a tragedy of this scale:

Despairing sources confirmed that the gunman, armed with a semiautomatic assault rifle—a fucking combat rifle, Jesus—walked into a classroom full of goddamned children where his mother was a teacher and, good God, if this is what the world is becoming, then how about we just pack it in and fucking give up, because this is no way to live. 

I mean, honestly, all 315 million Americans confirmed.

Sometimes journalistic detachment is impossible.
