You could have breaking news sponsored by Laramie cigarettes again. Also there would be less news reported, no more 24 hour news coverage. Then again, that wouldn't be so bad.

That could well mean the decade you allude to.

No, this is not a religious hate crime, this is more in line with a racial hate crime.

I wonder how many other mainstream media sources will try to divert attention away from the fucking obvious?
