"The BEST thing that could happen is to make it illegal to report these kinds of stories. I believe the media coverage actually causes them to happen. The media storm is exactly the result that these individuals want to create and it works every single time.--

One could claim it was not the gun that killed, but the man behind the gun who pulled the trigger. Is NBC an accomplice to the next "messed up" kid who seeks to leave this world with a 'media written epitaph' comparing him or her to Hitler and the Columbine shooters?

NBC must be run by Beavis and Butthead.

The real explanation: Ratings.

My email to NBC:

“Please don’t give that little creep any more publicity.”

Which is why that monster sent it to NBC rather than FOX.

The same station that bashed Don Imus to hell and helped get him removed from the airwaves now gives a sympathetic view and the airwaves to a POS who murdered 32 people. That`s our lib media for you!

Nope, just giving the public what they want. You can’t say a curse word, and HEAVEN forbid a boob is exposed because little johnny may be irrevocably harmed. But this shit, which will directly lead to the death of other people, is A-OK.

Talk about F’d up priorities.

"Upon receiving the materials from Cho Seung-Hui, NBC News took careful consideration in determining how the information should be distributed."

OK... I am willing to venture a guess, that there were some executives within NBC who were proposing to hold the tapes until Sweeps Month (starts May 1st) and have a "Gripping 2 Hour News Special" in which the tapes would be publicly unveiled for the first time.

It was parents of the victims that cancelled an appearance on the Today Show.

Right now there is another sicko taking all this in and thinking about how much publicity he’ll get for doing the same thing.

Thanks NBC!

See, when they do this for ratings, what they’re really doing is airing it for money. They set out to profit from this evil.

Scumbags.

Fox has since ran the video but now isn’t, I think all of the media outlets have gone way , way over the top, but NBC began the assault with the murderer having his way and giving him his last death wish.

"...We have covered this story—and our unique role in it—with extreme sensitivity, underscored by our devoted efforts to remember and honor the victims and heroes of this tragic incident. We are committed to nothing less."

It is impossible for me to describe how sick I am of "corporate speak."

Under ANY other circumstance NBC DESTROYED evidence because they handled the materials in order to make copies.

IF there was another possible accomplice who could be traced via prints or DNA, the chain of custody has been compromised.

Hope they enjoy this blip in ratings,

next week they go back to test pattern levels.
