I hate that most people don't respect the news. Well, maybe that's because local, and now national, news is toilet matter. That's right. It's poop. Why do we feel the need to follow the old adage "if it bleeds, it leads"? Seriously, is it really that big of a deal. Fires, rapes, murders, its all we see. Then they feel the need to lighten it up every now and again with a "human interest" piece on a dog show or something equally not relevant to my life or yours.
If the coverage on the VaTech shootings were more on the heroes, the students who stepped forward and the victims, I'd be more inclined to watch. But it is all about Cho, who he was, why he shot up people and that's because we live in a culture of fear. We have to know who is attacking us and why so we can go to extreme lengths to protect ourselves in the future. Have I watched the videos that he mailed in? Hell no, because I learned all I needed to know the first night.
