way to go, you made a madmans wish come true. you did just what he wanted you to do. show his mad rantings all over the world before the blood has even been cleaned up. you should be ashamed of yourself NBC. dont you have any class? dont you have a heart? dont you have any compassion for the victims? or did you piss your pants in glee when you realized this wacko handed you the biggest news story at the moment?

i cant tell anyone what to do, but i personally refuse to watch this fucking psycho and his bullshit propaganda. dont feed his fire, dont do what he wanted, ignore the lunacy. do not feed into his circus. it is exactly what he wanted.

    i had the same thoughts..and i love how they put NBC all over it..as if they are proud to be the recievers of this???

    if Imus gets fired because of comments

    NBC should be shut down immediately... this is not irrational...THE FCC allows this to take place, but you cant say FUCK during primetime...

    get fucking real... what the fuck is going on...i mean i woke up this morning confused about eveyrthing in the world as i usually do :) but now...im completely lost...

    Did you honestly expect any different from the media these days?

    I completely agree with your post, but I am not shocked that they jumped all over it.

    I understand your point. But if it came out that NBC had this footage and didn't air it, how many posters here would be screaming about a media coverup? And why not get all of the info out there and let people decide for themselves what they want to watch/read?

    ya but this isnt a good excuse anymore...something needs to be done.. this isnt a call for censorship...its call to examine the minds and power at these huge corporations that come without heart or a face for that matter...

    I agree as well. I think by showing the video, etc. it will just lead more people to claim their 15 minutes of fame posthumously after committing barbaric crimes.

    I completely agree... Its sensationalism not journalism. They get tv ratings, I highly doubt there was any questioning concerning the morality of publishing this. What can you do about it though? I'm sure millions of people were drawn to their tv sets by it.

    In a different world they may not have aired the information and turned it over to the authorities.

    Also I definately agree with know1's statement. More people will be inclined to get their 15 minutes of fame. Just look at the day after the shootings and all the threats that were made to different schools/colleges.

    exactly, so why give this fucker the satisfaction. havent the vicitms suffered enough?

  • macgyver06macgyver06 Posts: 2,500
    in all seriousness..

    im not saying NBC is gonna be directly blamed for the next massacre..i dunno...but i do know... they are glorifying this guy... and its gonna keep getting worse with this thoughtlessness... the families of these victims need to file a joint lawsuit against NBC and dismantle the entire fucking thing... no way they wwould lose the case.

    1. Its not just NBC, all the networks are showing the manifesto crap.


    2. Its better than that Right Wing, religious freak network Foxnews' coverage. Which is having a serious debate over whether this kid was possessed by Satan, what a joke:

    Do you REALLY? Maybe Cho was a North Korean agent on assignment here building a sleeper cell when he snapped. I don't actually believe that, but my point is, anytime information is supressed people make shit up. Look at 9/11. So why supress info in this day and age. Let the information be made available, and people can exercise their own standards in terms of what they read and watch.

    The media are whores. They'd sell your soul and mine if it increased their ratings.
    I smile, but who am I kidding...
  • Good for you! I thought i was all alone in my boycott of his bullshit!

    Apparently, it's all about ratings....

    Yes I actually do know people were murdered...i don't care why...also!!!

    this is not information that was released...its an amateur video...a suicide video...not a suicide note...and its been advertised today...

    the victims within a week have been turned into profits for these organizations we seem to cling to

    Good job, my2hands!!!

    My sister and I were having excatly the same conversation last night.

    When will these media fuckers take some responsibility, have some integrity, have some class and sensitivity; and stop being part of the problem!

    Now every fuckin' nutjob from here to Portland will know that he can get his psychotic 15 minutes of fame, become a legend; after he goes on a killing spree and blows his own brains out.

    Assholes.

    In this face paced world of 24 hour news channels they need content to fill up the time. The news has veered off of just reporting the story. They need the advertising dollars to keep the numerious news cahannels afloat. So they turn to sensationalism.

    I think it was in extremely bad taste to air the material considering that the shootings only happened days ago. Maybe the right thing would have been to mention the package and it's contents but not air the photos or video clips.

    You're one of the only people in the country who doesn't seem to be asking why. I can understand that you don't want more info if you have no more questions.

    Every story on the news every day is placed where it is and given the air time or column length it is given based on reader/viewer interest. If you don't want to see something turn off the TV.

    this isnt a censorship thing... i dont care what it is going on in a dead guys head before he does this...my concern and thoughts are to the victims...this isnt a conspiracy jeff...also this isnt about censoring NBC... i dont care what they put on their station, because i don't watch it... but they are fueling a fire in that they are glorifying murder and massacres, whatever word you prefer...and they should be held partly accountable for the next massacre.

    with great power comes great responsibility...shut these fuckers down!

    I agree.

    And that goes for every other media whore station and website that feels the need to blast this story in the most graphic descriptions and the most distubing photos directly at our faces.

    I hadn't even heard about this yet this morning when I opened up my computer, clicked on the Yahoo news icon, and gasped as the first image I saw was a great big picture of this lunatic asshole pointing a gun directly at the camera........immediately realizing this is probably exactly the last thing some of his victims saw.

    I understand and accept that these news stories will be told...........but why do they have to try and find the most shocking way to deliver it to us?
    There are better ways to get the word out to the public.

    agree, totally classless.

    its like in the movie 'seven' when brad pitt kills kevin spacey. just fulfilled the psycho's wishes.

    while I understand many are upset about NBC's choice to air the videos...I have to say, as I was checking email last night, I saw a link to videos...

    I clinked and watched...I wonder how many who are saying NBC was wrong have watched them...

    For me, it cleared up the question of "why"...which, in my opinion, was this guy had some serious mental health issues...
