Alert emailer S.F. asks if NBC, when it broadcast baseball games, refused to show video of fans running onto the field. Most broadcasters don't, on the grounds that it would only encourage more attention-seeking disruptions. ... If that's NBC's practice, why is it OK in order to prevent the disruption of a baseball game but not to prevent mass murder? Just asking.
I'm also bothered that many media channels showed the video without warning that it could be distrubing and were showing clips of it during commercials. My six-year-old niece is very sensitive to what she sees and I'm sure there are many children who saw this whose parents wish they had not.
