Evidently the failing business model that is "journalism" is now taught to be as brief as possible,  which goal has been surpassed,  and the viewing and reading public gets a headline and little reporting.   Criminals need to have press agents to present talking points,  bios,  and some background to their behavior.  You know,  just like government does.  So most "reporting" on all things governmental is the re-printing of the government press release.  In this case,  the public schools PR machine,  the Police and District Attorney PR machine.  Or,  in Oregon and now much of the nation,  the Democrat Party press releases,  while the rest of the political parties press releases are thrown in the recycle bin.   Like Senator Wyden and the proposed health care bill.  Pretty hard to get to compromise and agreement when Wyden picks up his toys and hides in Umatilla and Drain.
