little bit of credibility the press/media had with the general public

One of my favorite reporters said last night that a key reason why Ch. Moose wanted to continue to engage the murderer was to keep him from shooting. Tie up his time and efforts into negotiations. I was so angry that I was shaking. I meant to come in this morning and e-mail them that this one, normally excellent reporter, had possibly cost someone or some people their lives. This man was shot before I had the chance to send my message. I don't know whether or not this one comment had anything to do with anything, but it was among the most irresponsible statement I've ever heard on news coverage.

Well, here's the question then: if you and I can figure that out, even though we *are* arm-chair newsfreaks, why can't THEY figure it out and STOP doing what they're doing.

And now CNN is disclosing information in the "letter" from Saturday night that the police specifically asked them not to report.

The only thing I'm left with is that they just do NOT care who they hurt as long as they have a story, any story.
