Don't get me wrong, news outlets rotate stories as if they were radio playlists and coverage of Newtown will soon disappear until the inevitable "One Year Anniversary". I will also concede that Newtown as dropped from the lede to a secondary segment on most news programs and publications.

Just the same, the coverage has not, as of yet, been "swept under" the carpet nor the rug.
