CHO FLAK (2#) -

Reportedly, NBC is getting flak for airing some of the material that Cho sent them. Howie Kurtz explores the airing and some reactions to it in his WaPo column today:

"Was it a public service to air the words and hate-filled diatribe of Cho Seung Hui last night, after his final mailing showed up at the network, or was NBC giving a mass murderer what he wanted?"

My position is: I am almost certain that I heard Brian issue a clear warning that "disturbing" material was going to be shown. That warning should have been a signal for sensitive viewers to tune away or push the off-button for five minutes. I do feel that Brian acted responsibly and that he doesn't deserve to be harassed about it.
