Re: Liberal Media Immortalizes mass murderer

Funny democratic people.

So anyone stating that democratic us people (especially) are kind of mesmerize by serial killers, mass killers, syndicate killers and the likes is not making sense.

So anyone stating that because of them being mesmerized by this kind of being, this young democratic boy gained his ticket for immortality the very second after he shot his last victim is not making sense.

So anyone stating that because of them being mesmerized by this kind of human being, his will being broadcast or not would have change nothing in this, is making no sense.

So anyone stating that uncovering his last will and making the content known lifted a veil of mystery about the motivation of this democratic boy is not making sense.

So anyone stating that decreasing the level of mystery about this mass killer will render him less appealing for soon to born democratic fans, is not making sense.

Sure. It would have been better not to expose his will, this way, democratic people would not have started all kinds of stories about the content of the will, surmises, guessworks and the likes. That is certainly not democratic people's type.

Re: Liberal Media Immortalizes mass murderer

NBC did it for the Ratings.Remember how NBC lost 200,000 viewers cause of that reporter who critized the military? So they showed it on NBC News so they get some of the lost ratings back. Why dont the GOP Create a MEDIA TAX? Like if your ratings gain 20% you pay a 30% Media Tax from your advertisers.

Yeah. Fox's standards would have dictated that if the video, pictures and writings (on CDR likely.... Tapes?! How long have you been in a cave?) had been sent to them, thay would have discretely handed them over to the police. Fox would not have wanted to air them as an "exclusive" story.

All I hear from the nutjobs on this site is how bad Rush is yet this seemed to matter to the families of the victims that refused to appear on the today show strictly because of this. Not only that but the media isn't even reporting this guys connection to islam.

The media is trying to protect islam; why?

First I'm not a Dem.{another rushism,if you'er not con you must be one of them} I was a Rep. until 2001 went bush refused to secure our borders and protect our country. At that time I became an Ind.
I don't blame the families for not going on TV.
Please explain how he was connected to Islam? I haven't been watching any of it, my TV comes equiped with this little button labled OFF and I use it when I don't want to watch something.

ISLAM????

Damn that's stupid.

In his tapes he talks about the Columbine killers who were just a couple of good 'ol boys in trench coats.

How about Timothy McVeigh .. was he really Tim McAkbar?

Just make some shit up and look for people stupid enough to believe that bullshit.

Stupid

Re: Liberal Media Immortalizes mass murderer

Well, I guess someone just had to bring Islam into this whole equation, though the guy wasn't even a Muslim.

Frankly speaking though, I'm surprised it took 4 pages for Varrus to come out with it.

Re: Liberal Media Immortalizes mass murderer

The video showed what a doofus this kid was.
NBC did a service to the world by showing what morons do with themselves.
To NOT show it, raises curiosity - and allows places like YouTube gain all the credit.
Now, people should be less inclined to turn him into a martyr seeing how disturbed he was with his babbling and other barely discernable crap.
In other words, letting him make an ass of himself does not bid well for people who may think he is some kind of saint or victim.

Re: Liberal Media Immortalizes mass murderer

NBC did no service for the world.

NBC is not liberal.

NBC did not have an agenda.

NBC wanted to make money. And they knew that the American public has a macabre fascination with this type of story. So the reporters get their best "We are concerned that this is a deeply disturbed youg man" tone and present the story and reap the ratings.

Also, think ho assinine it is when Rush calls Imus a liberal and the Virginia Tech. killer a liberal. It is the "Boogyman" effect everything bad is Liberal.

Well you could try and be a little consistant (naive me).

Blame Liberals not for being Bigots, but when someone goes overboard on Political Correctness.

Blame Liberals not for violent crimes and exploiting violence, but when they go overboard a methods to curb violence and its place in the media. Which has more violence Fox or NPR?

It is no wonder Rush calls his listners Dittoheads.

People like this korean are already immortal, even without airing their personal media parcel. The reason why this kind of people go mad is because a mental illness meets an ignorant society. Ignorant in the sense of ignoring a threat. By making people aware of how these people think and act as long as they're "normal" (not killing), people have the chance to recognize them beforethey get a bullet into their head. It makes people aware of that it CAN happen to them.
I don't think at all that airing the video creates a genre of mass-murderers. We had Steinhäusser here in Germany, and it's natural that people who think and feel like Robert Steinhäusser inform themselves on similiar "personalities". If they are mad enough to kill dozens of people, they will kill them anyway, no matter if they saw a video of Cho or not.
