What were they thinking when they decided to publicize this crazy murderer's so-called "manifesto"?
When they received the package they should have told us: "Guess what? We've received this incredible set of videos, photos and writings from the deranged killer. It is vile and we decided not to show it. We have given it to the authorities for investigation".
Did we need to see that crap? Did they need to give this murderer an avenue to have the last word? What journalistic value did it have? Absolutely none.
How come they did not show the full writings of Ted Kaczynski? After all he wrote a whole set of his crazy ideas on a typewriter before he committed his murders. The medium has evolved but the message is the same.
What's next? Is NBC going to become another Al-Jazeera that shows the videos of the terrorists doing their criminal acts as soon as they are delivered to them?
I'm sure the families of the victims appreciated this showing. Shame on you NBC.
