Press conference or not, we still get the nasty headline

Despite the fact that it was the Million Mom March who held a tasteless press conference before the victim of the Case Western shooting was even laid to rest, the headline on this Sunday's Letters to the Editor page in the Cleveland Plain Dealer shouted: "Gun backers are quick to spin every tragedy" Under the twisted headline, they published four letters on the CWRU shooting. Only one was...
