Subject: RE: BS: Virginia Tech Shooting, 20 dead?
I just sent the following email to my Denver NBC affiliate. If you feel as I do, I suggest you also communicate your feelings on this.



To NBC news

I wanted to express my shock and disgust at the reprehensible action of NBC and its president in airing the "press package" created by the Virginia Tech killer. Apparently there was never a hesitation on NBC's part, and no concern that such publicity might be exactly what such sick individuals are lusting for. To disguise this action as a need to know more about the killer's motivation is nothing but a spin on the real motive... Sheer profit.

Congratulations on your further encouragement of such acts, as I see you as complicit in them. I somehow doubt, though, that the President of NBC, were his family killed in a mass slaying, would feel that the murder's press package deserved public promotion.
