POST DELETED
And because the news media can make completely inappropriate decisions in an effort to scoop everyone else, I've had to take this post down.
Suffice it to say, the folks a CBS News crossed a line and obviously did not read into the meaning of the post that was originally posted here. Way to go. Oh, and don't ever call me at midnight again. Not only is it rude, but it was also completely unnecessary.

I think the local media has really sensationalized this whole event in a really disrespectful manner. I don't know what was posted here, but I assume that SOMEONE from CBS wanted to get a scoop that NBC and ABC didn't have.
I think they should be focusing more on the victims and less on the "Massacre" aspect of this -- and less on the shooter who WANTED to get attention. I don't think they should give him what he wants. It makes me sick.
I know on 89.7 The River and 94.1 they do not ever refer to the shooter's name at all. This shows so much more class that the TV stations have shown.
Obviously we need to talk about this as a community, and the facts should be shared (to an extent), but in any way glorifying the shooter's intent is dead wrong in my eyes.

Just to be clear, it wasn't a local station that called me. It was CBS the Network.
I will agree that the media is focusing on this way too much. But, it isn't just this tragedy. It is any tragedy. News isn't about news anymore, it's about ratings and sensationalism.
