First thing I did when I heard about this this afternoon was call my local CBS Atlanta affiliate. Don't know why that was my first reaction.

I was directed to the programming director for the station and I had to leave a message. I told her that her airing 60 Minutes II left blood on her hands and that I was taking CBS off the remote (I did that way back).

I later called CNN when I heard they were not reporting on the story. The CNN guy told me they showed the story and they "couldn't run it over and over". I asked about how they could run the prison abuse photos over and over. He hung up on me.

I then called CBS. I was again hung up on.

The media and I don't like eachother.

How do these people get away with HANGING UP ON THEIR CUSTOMERS?! What arrogant jerks! That should tell us what they think about their viewers!

Also ask them why they played the Rodney King beating video over and over and over again (of course, *only* the portion that showed King getting pounded by half a dozen officers, *not* the portion that showed him resisting them and the officers using smaller amounts of force until they found that it wasn't working).

It's a similar situation -- their repeated airings of the King beating whipped the community into such a frenzy that the deadly LA riots were entirely predictable.
