Dear Press Reporters … Just Stop!

Just stop. You aren’t helping.

My thoughts and prayers are going out to every family member and friend of the VT victims, but I have to tell the press….Just stop.

Your repetitive naming of the shooter is not doing society any favours…so just stop.

You can repeat the victims names ad infinitum but when it comes to the shooter just zip your lips. There is no need to turn this monster into an icon for whack jobs everywhere, but more importantly, others like him should be seeing that they will NOT be infamous when they go on killing sprees. There names should NOT be known to the world. Let them die with no one remembering them.

Just stop.

And airing the videos and photos of this whack job?? Just stop. We don’t care.

Go ask the family and friends of the victims if they want to see this guys face over and over.

I heard someone say today that if a monster was holding hostages and told the press to give him coverage, the press would not do it.

So why do we give the coverage to the monsters who do go postal? They don’t deserve it so just stop!

Just stop making this monster a reality TV star.

I never thought this would come out of my mouth, but go back to covering the Anna Nicole Smith saga.
