Subject: Critics blast the Rocky for Twittering a child's funeral

 

Colorado Independent | Westword
Cara Degette says the Rocky Mountain News "took the notion of Twitter to staggeringly low depths" when it Twittered the 
funeral of a 3-year-old boy who was killed at an ice cream store last week. || Michael Roberts: 
<http://blogs.westword.com/latestword/2008/09/rocky_mountain_news_twitters_a.php>  "Twittering a child's funeral is a 
mission more doomed than Jimmy Carter's attempt to rescue those hostages from Iran back in the day. The results are 
self-satirizing in the most morbid, inappropriate way possible." <http://www.poynter.org/graphics/rss_view.gif>
