CNN is pretty biased towards news in the south and Atlanta especially, which I sometimes like. Despite its conservative slant, Fox News is very NYC and doesn't give much attention to anything unless "celebrity" or "murder trial" is in the headline. I think this is actually a reasonable story for CNN to cover. Its a lot better than their normal crap in the daytime, which is obscure international or health news that nobody cares about with the occasional couple minutes of Bush-bashing tossed in.

I won't fault CNN for covering the story. It's not at all uncommon to see coverage of a shooting in a public place like this one.

What I question is that almost every story I read pointed out that this was across the street from the park where the bomb went off during the Atlanta Olympics.

What does that have to do with a domestic killing?

Well, you know, Atlanta is dangerous and crazy ALL the time. When religious fanatics aren't blowing people up, you've got to watch out for domestic violence crossfire.

(Maybe it's because there aren't too many Atlanta landmarks for people who wouldn't know what the Big Chicken was?)
