Family members of victims canceled plans to appear on NBC's "Today"
show Thursday because they "were very upset" with the network for showing the
pictures, "Today" host Meredith Vieira said.
And it looks like they are using the "if everyone jumped off a cliff then we would too" defence:
"The decision to run this video was reached by virtually every news
organization in the world, as evidenced by coverage on television, on Web sites
and in newspapers," NBC said in a statement. "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."
Yeah they covered it all right by making the killer into the just the kind of celebrity that he apparently wanted to be. At least Cho offed himself so after this wall-to-wall news cycle is over we don't have to hear about this scum for years to come. Well at least not until the next spree killer wants the NBC star machine to air his rants from beyond the grave.
