NBC Should be Ashamed

The public gained nothing ,but NBC saw a ratings spike. There was absolutely no value from giving this disturbed young man a posthumous platform for his twisted worldview. Clearly they could have chosen to summarize the tapes as the final act and disturbing images of a tragically sick young man.unfortunately they could barely hide their disappointment that the tragedy did not occur during a sweeps period. Thankfully, they may now pay a price. That price will pale though in comparison to the harm that they have caused, both to the families and loved ones of the victims, as well as from the fallout of other twisted minds that may feel that there is a new ticket to their 15 minutes.

So true. Unfortunately, all mainstream news stations would have done the same, had they received the package. We no longer get news in the U.S. We get entertainment.
