I am seething with contempt for

[Subdivisions]

the Corporate Media Whores who are salivating over the massacre. Shameless vile putrid sensationalism and selling their adspace on the backs of the injured, the dead, and their surviving family and friends.

I am nauseated.

1. I feel that way, also.

Right or wrong - those are the feelings I'm fighting.

2. especially since they are

no longer NEWS and are strictly for profit!

[HughMoran]

3. Just turn it off

I haven't turned it on all day.

[Democrat 4 Ever]

4. Have you notice dispersed among the breathless horror of pushing

a microphone in a shattered, dazed students face to ask tasteless, inane questions the network airheads manage to work in those damn, stupid commercials?

It is bad enough that they have to use every damn event to pump up their own self importance in "covering" the tragedy du jour, they use the air time to make sure the advertisers get their moments, too. After all, we must make sure those ad dollars keep rolling in while victims fend off bloodless whores in search of a story.

Yesterday it was Michael Jackson or Anna Nicole Smith, today it is Virginia Tech tomorrow it will be another faux event to sell ad space to push products to make sure the corporate board and the shareholders make money. Ain't this country grand?

Either it is an event to terrible to contemplate or it is an opportunity to make money.

8. MASSACRE! MASSACRE! MASSACRE!

I decided to watch Keith and MSNBC had three self-promoting commercials IN A ROW all prominently featuring the word MASSACRE!!!

Fucking ass holes. FUCKING FUCKING SLEAZY ASS HOLES!

I'll not be watching beyond Keith.

5. It's ok, a celebrity will adopt or a blonde will go missing soon.

And then poof! No more VT coverage.

Not being an insensitive ass here, it's how these guys work.

But you KNOW that each media company is watching each other to see when it's been long enough. You can't have scoops, so as soon as one thinks the next story is big, they'll all jump to that.

I wonder how much is happening behind the scenes right now in the White House while the press is even less observant than usual.

6. Early yesterday, I know it best for me not to watch the coverage

because anything factually significant would be found on the web today, and again tomorrow, instead of listening to the media morons asking who's to blame questions, speculative sensationalism, and showing the same video footage a million times over.

No wonder in part, great men and women in the past became truly great ever before the television was invented.

[City Lights]

7. Me too.

I can't watch. Reading about it here is enough for me.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

9. Blame the public.

They're the ones that want it.
