than a week after President Barack Obama's cold-blooded killing of a
local couple, members of the American news media admitted Tuesday that
they were still trying to find the best angle for covering the gruesome
crime.
"I know there's a story in there somewhere," said Newsweek editor Jon
Meacham, referring to Obama's home invasion and execution-style slaying
of Jeff and Sue Finowicz on Apr. 8. "Right now though, it's probably
best to just sit back and wait for more information to come in. After
all, the only thing we know for sure is that our president senselessly
murdered two unsuspecting Americans without emotion or hesitation."

questioning its relevance in a fast-changing media landscape.

producer of the CBS Evening News. "Is this an upbeat human-interest
story about a 'day in the life' of a bloodthirsty president who likes
to kill people? Or is it more of an examination of how Obama's unusual
upbringing in Hawaii helped to shape the way he would one day viciously
butcher two helpless citizens in their own home?" [Story Continued]
