So even when someone dies and it does NOT involve a gun ...

CNN puts a picture of the person holding a gun?

Meanwhile over at Fox, the lead story is--GASP--how bad Democrats are for shutting down the government (um, even though they did not shut it down ... seriously, that is not what happened):

  IS THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION playing 'pain politics' to gain leverage in the budget battle on Capitol Hill? Republicans seem to think so, and point to the Pentagon furlough of 400,000 civilian staffers — even though Congress passed and the president signed a bill to keep them on the job.

Toddler + gun = news

A toddler shot and killed his mother, the boy's father told South Florida police, who say they will talk to the 2-1/2-year-old.

The father, who called 911, told police he was trying to take the firearm away from the child when it discharged.

The boy's mother -- Julia Bennett, 33 -- was shot once in the back and died from the injury.

Um, so what was a 2-1/2 year old doing with a loaded gun?

And who will be surprised when it is revealed the man actuall killed his wife?

And why is this national news?
