NBC disgusts me...

[MannyIsGod]

I don't care if it IS news. They let a nutjob get his suicide statement shown on national TV which was exactly what he wanted and rewarded him for killing all those people.

Did you watch? If no one watches then how does he win? Who's really to blame, the media who puts it on TV or the public who watches?

As much as I hate sensationalist media like we have I put the blame squarly on the people who allow it to exist and watch it.

[MannyIsGod]

Those same people complaining about NBC can't take their eyes off the TV.

Yup.

[MannyIsGod]

Beyond inviting every nutcase out there with an ax to grind to go on a murderous spree and leave the world with a stylized presentation it is rather disrespectful to the memory of the dead and their loved ones. A free media is essential to liberty. But so is some restraint in the absence of what is proscribed.

So NBC is promoting mass murder now? I guess all that stood between us and the apocolypse was NBC News. Who knew?

[MannyIsGod]

He sent it to them in hopes that they would air it.

They did.

He got exactly what he wanted.

Would they have aired it if there was no audience?

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

I don't think they should dignify him or people like him by releasing their name, picture, etc.

Every report should use 'piece of s '. News reports: "a piece of s killed 32 people today before going out cowardly by shooting himself".

Don't dignify him with recognition. that.

[Ronaldo McDonald]

That's what was said. Let's see it. It's apparently not enough to just say the 'killer mailed us a bunch of ', it has to be shown.

So everything's fair game.

Next.

no its not. people like visualizing. it's why guys don't masturbate to text that says "a girl is rubbing her pussy and now two more girls come in and do it for her while rubbing ice cream on their asses and spreading syrup all over their boobies". At least I don't.

So you want the news to be as unobjective as possible now? Give me a break. This is idiocy.

Something or other about a vicious cycle and the media being a reflection of our darker side as a society. Or vice versa. Or I'm hungry.

[Поповић]

How much of the coverage have you watched?

None of the killer's presentation. How about you?

They are promoting the killer's views. Who knew you would have no point?

Good. Let's see the victims' bodies with their faces blown half off.

But....he had feelings too. Wah.

I've watched zero network coverage of the event. However, I'm glad to see you framed your answer. Now answer my question again, how much of the coverage did you watch?

[MannyIsGod]

I didn't need to make a point in that stament because your prediction of further mass murders based upon NBC's coverage is one of the weaker posts I've seen in awhile.

[MannyIsGod]

But....he had feelings too. Wah.

Its not about feelings - it is about recognizing that there are causes to this type of behavior and that in order to discover what those are we must understand them. Your ranting and raving do nothing to solve these situations in the future. You jsut come off liek an ignorant fool.

[Ronaldo McDonald]

if you haven't noticed views get promoted on t.v. Whether it's a movie, the news, or a song. And frankly money talks. People want to watch this guy--and they will stop when they've seen enough, which is beginning to happen.

It's essentially an interview. We had questions, he gave us answers. That in itself is not bad. What is bad is the constant replay it's getting during this nascent period of I guess you an say, mourning and healing

[T Park]

Thats not unobjective.

Thats fact.

The guy was a ing lunatic piece of .

[Bigzax]

It pisses me off when people refer to assholes like this as lunatics, psychos, or as someone who is crazy.

A psycho, a lunatic, or someone who is crazy has no idea what he's doing. They do things because they think God told them to do it, or the TV instructed them, or so on. Someone who's crazy has a malfunctioning brain, and cannot help it.

This piece of knew exactly what the he was doing, and he was fully conscious of the effects. He wasn't psychotic or crazy: he was acting out of hatred. To say he's a lunatic gives him a rational explanation for comitting this act, when there is none other than pure evil.

good post.

[AmericanPsycho]

We'd all be shocked if we knew what is going on in the minds of those around us.
