Looks like the Rocky Mountain News’ new-found love-affair with micro-blogging has gone a little too far.

Alas the medium that worked for Democratic National Convention updates is less well-suited to the funeral of a three-year old Colorado boy killed when two trucks barrelled into a Baskin-Robbins ice-cream store.

How crass could this form of new reporting be you ask? Well here’s a screen shot of the RMN’s “live update” from the memorial service of 3-year-old Marten Kudlis.

Read and weep.
