I see it too, noodle. Mostly I think it's because news travels faster now than it did 50 years ago. Hell, it's even faster than it was when I was a pup. Speaking of when I was a kid, there was a nutjob across the river from us that baked his baby in an oven. That made the local newspaper, but it didn't get on statewide TV, and it didn't get on national television. Today, it would be part of the national news cycle for at least a week. The good old days weren't. We were just ignorant of the evil that was out there.
