Kind of like an addiction, eh?

a "twist of words" is being kind.

I just opened my local newspaper, and there was the headline, top of page
4:

"Media outlets curb use of pictures from gunman"
-Backlash from public, families of victims leads Fox News, NBC, others
to limit violent images-

Under the headline is a 4x4 inch picture of Cho pointing his Glock at
the camera.

to paraphrase Steve Martin in "The Jerk":

"We don't need to publish these pictures. this one is all we need to
publish. Just this one... And this one too, we need that one... and
that's all we're going to publish. This one, that one and the other
one, and that's all we need to publish. We need this one.... But
that's all we need."
