Look at THIS story yesterday? I don't think it even got a mention on any of the main news carriers TV stations.

It is believed that he was Eastern European & the incident was gangland related.

If Raoul Moat wasn't supposed to be running around the woods with a shotgun, SKY would have had this in our face all day yesterday.

It doesn't matter how tragic or catastrophic a news story is in this world today, It's only ever going to last for five minutes anyway. :(
