And now this nut's videos are all over the place.

Haven't seen any commentary yet but I expect we'll have journalists saying things like , "Well we debated showing these videos but we concluded that the public had a right to know, yada, yada, yada"

Bullshit.

If I ever thought that maybe members of the media weighted journalistic integrity over ratings, I surely don't now.

What they've done is given the shooter a platform and encourage others to get their fifteen minutes of fame.

One thing I'll give them is, I am sure they'd have behaved the same way if the guy had shot up a newsroom rather than a campus....

If I sound a bit angry it's because I happen to work in the same type of environment as the victims did. I think of the professors and students who were contributing so much and how they are shoved aside to air the ravings of the lunatic who killed them. It sickens me...
