what is this world coming to

I meant to post this earlier, right after the VTech shootings, but I never got around to it until now.
I know the whole VTech shooting has been dragged out and overexploited by the media, and I know that it must've been unbearably hard (I probably can't even relate) for all the families who lost loved ones (my condolences to them) but I think that the media made everything worse. For 2 days, the headline of CNN and NBC either had something to do with the shooting or the shooter, Cho Seung Hui. I was deeply disturbed his images and video clips, his weapons (beloved hammer), his shaved head, and barely cohesive manuscript. When NBC recieved the package from Hui himself, they were supposed to immediately turn it in to the police. After briefly "consulting with local authorities", they aired 10% of it. It may sound like they were sparing the public of the worst, but what they did air was disturbing enough. At first, the Virginia Police Chief commended NBC for its actions, but the following day, he then said something about how the Virginia police department and the families of the victims were "disappointed" in NBC's actions. He even said that the package would be of "marginal value" to the police, saying that "they were already aware of what it contained." Many people who were supposed to be interviewed on NBC cancelled and refused to talk to anyone because of the network's irresponsible actions. What good was it to air all that stuff, especially so soon after the incident? The victims bodies weren't even buried yet. The official investigation had just begun. I'm sure the families affected were outraged seeing the crazy person who viciously killed their loved ones being made into a public celebrity (for all the wrong reasons). I don't know how many times they played the clips, flashed images, and talked about the whole thing, but it was too much. NBC, in response, claimed that they aired it in order to shed some light on the reasoning behind Hui's actions, but did it really? Were they the "serious journalists" they made themselves out to be? Even if they were, it's too bad because there've been so much other "entertainment news" that this got confused between "serious journalism" and "entertainment news". They didn't make it clear which one they were going for.
Couldn't they have waited until the police watched the video and officially figured out the events that took place? They investigation isn't even finished. The line where Hui said something about being like Jesus Christ, inspiring all those who are too weak to stand up for themselves, was particualarly disturbing. Who knows what other kinds of mentally disturbed people like Hui were watching, and actually could be inspired but his actions. The amount of attention they spent on him was enough that Hui's words would reach any other abused kid who wants attention. He got his 15 seconds plus of fame. I can imagine a kid, bullied in the past, suddenly going postal and releasing his pent up anger and rage in an act of violence like Hui, especially after seeing that it can actually happen. In fact, not too long after the incident, the media was in a frenzy, reporting a story about a 14 year old Florida native who threatened to top Hui's victim count to 100 people. It's bad enough that the VTech shooting had to happen, but what else is in store, especially after the airing of Cho Seung Hui's psychopathic behavior? I'm not singling out NBC, because I'm sure any other news network wouldv'e done the same. But that just goes to show what the media is looking for these days in their daily broadcast. The images were certainly disturbing, but that didn't prevent people from being totally engrossed while watching it. Who wouldn't want to know what the crazy guy was thinking?What is this world coming to?
