The Media - and consequences
My take on this is quite simple: there are consequences for one's actions.
If one cannot foresee that their actions affect people in certain ways, they are very likely to be surprised, astonished, and annoyed at any result or backlash.
In my world, hasty, emotional, and even hopeful decisons, always serve us poorly.
It may sound harsh, but I don't feel sorry for those that don't take the time to consider the consequences of their actions...

At NewsBusters.com, Warner Todd Huston discusses the whining of a Baltimore Sun columnist:
"Susan Reimer, columnist for the Baltimore Sun, is shocked, SHOCKED I tell you, that people took exception to her tactless bashing of Governor Sarah Palin in her September 1 column, 'A woman -- but why this woman?' In fact, Reimer is so upset that people where exercised enough to drop her a note, give her a call, or write an email about her baseless smearing of Palin that she says in her September 5 column that she feels 'frightened.' Do you want some cheese and crackers to go with that whine, Reimer?"
