coverage of the Virginia Tech tragedy I have seen, in ascending order of shamefulness
- Wolf Blitzer asking the guy who took the video of police officers outside the building what sort of cell phone he used. Answer: Nokia.
- MSNBC's "On The Money", flashing a scrolling list of prominent executives who are VT alumni.
- Debbie Schlussel: Was the gunman a muslim?
- A late entry! Bill O'Reilly's infographic thing: "The shooter wasn't American, he was Korean." (True, but who cares — he arrived in the country when he was a child, according to the Post)
I saw the first two as I exercised at the gym. The lefthand TV was tuned to Access Hollywood, which displayed a computerized simulation of what Britney Spears' regrown hair might look like under the hat she was recently photographed wearing. They presented it under a graphic that said "breaking news" and somehow seemed downright classy.





Comments
Holy crap. Is Schlussel's site a parody?
Caution when reading Schlussel's website, especially the comments. You'll need a shower afterwards.
The woman is mentally ill.
