CNN's Sensationalism of the Virginia Tech Video is Disgusting
Politics.wikia.com ^ | 19 April 2007 | DNL

CNN.com has an important and telling story up on the website right now, talking about the family and friends of Virginia Tech victim Jeremy Herbstritt. In CNN's words, "Jeremy's loved ones are fighting to replace those images with thoughts of their son and other victims of the massacre, by publicly celebrating his legacy."

That's a truly great message. We really, honestly, should be focusing on the lives of the people who were taken from this world, and not on the psychotic rant of a madman killer. We should be talking about the good done by these everyday people who are no longer with us.

IMO, CNN and the rest of the human debris, that work for the MSM, are creating more of these monsters by sensationalizing this outrage. I recommend calls, emails, and letters. Keep the heat on these despicable Liberals.

That's exactly what they're doing. If they truly wanted to prevent more of these shootings they would be showing the naked bullet riddled corpse of the shooter.

I guess I don’t understand why CNN is being singled out. Channel surfing to any news outlet (yes fox included) yields the same thing.

They’re inciting all the wackjobs that want the same publicity. Too bad the MSM aren’t pesonally liable for their crimes.

A tip for grievers: Don’t watch TV for solace. And don’t appear on TV shows as “the first step toward healing.” Read a Bible. Take a walk. Spend time with people who care about you and did before this happened to you.

I am really sad and angry to hear that. At my son’s campus at PSU they rang it 32 times.
