There was a post on Salon about how the Norwegian bomb attacks are beign reported while other such attacks in other, less white parts of the world go unreported, and on military actions Norway may have undertaken which could have provoked this attack.

It's a fair point.

But seriously, couldn't you have waited a few fucking days before writing something so insensitive? People died today and we're still counting the wounded. Is it too much to ask for a day or two's respite? It come across as pretty nasty bastardry to point out this sort of stuff less that 24 hours after it happened.

Also: I can't think of another event recently where one man killed so many people using a gun.


[If we look at the coverage of the bomb blast in Oslo, that was actually about at the same level as the bomb blasts in various parts of the world last week. ie business as usual.]
