You Ratings-Hungry Jerks!

Someone needs to call out the news media. They think they're immune to everything because they have "freedom of of the press." Listen, you bozos, stop showing people dying in cold blood in the name of ratings. Those people have families and they don't need to have their grief compounded by seeing video footage of their loved ones being shot to death as captured on a cell phone camera. Someone might want to see a cop shot to death at point-blank range, but most of us do NOT. I remember when they wouldn't show such things. Now they never refrain from showing it. Of course, when it was one of their own murdered on live TV (the news reporter in Virginia who was shot to death, along with her camera man, last year), they exercised restraint. Other than that, sometimes I wonder if they're hoping for another blood bath....as long as someone has their cell phone video rolling, of course, and is willing to sell the footage to them. Don Henley was right....the media is just "dirty laundry."
