CBS News takes the threats to Democrats and their families and the vandalism to Democratic offices very seriously. They ran an excellent, hard hitting piece on tonight's news. You can watch it below.
The broken window in Giffords' office is the first image in the piece. Later it shows a collage of the damage to her office. Still later Giffords is interviewed for her reaction to the vandalism.
The Star? Not so much. The vandalism at Giffords' office merited a mention in the 17th paragraph of a news article, a mention in an editorial, and a half serious mention in today's Political Notebook. I guess our "local news first" newspaper doesn't think Tucson news which has made every cable news program and now an in depth report on the network news is important enough to merit a stand alone story, or even a photo in the paper.
That's a sad commentary on the Star.
