Subject: RE: BS: Virginia Tech Shooting, 20 dead?
I recorded hours of the live broadcasts as they were coming in.

The horrendous mistake :

The shooting started at 7 AM killing people.

the campus was not shut down.

The shooting resumed at 10 AM killing several dozen people.

The College president said there was no link between the shootings.

The shooting was by the same gunman.

The FBI has taken over without offically reported request probably due to a patriot act statute.


Sadly the local FOX channel here only had Holly MOrris, the fluff perky morning person, to cover the shootings. She yapped happily and put a positive spin on everything just as Fox reporters were trained to do but in this case it was obscene.
