CNN Bans Use Of Virginia Tech Killer Footage - Gawker
CNN Bans Use Of Virginia Tech Killer Footage - Gawker
I think this is a good choice on the part of CNN. While I understand tha value in showing short clips of the video and a few of the pictures, showing the amount that was shown did a disservice. One thing that is clear in this video is that he wanted to send a message to the world, and while he will never know that the message was played and watched by millions, there may be others like him out there that will.

Quoted: The Nation's Bruce Shapiro On The 'Story' Behind Virginia Tech / Jossip:
"It will take time before anyone can say with certainty how Cho managed to get away with such a massacre...But in a sense the important thing now is how the story gets told and understood. The profoundly human yearning to impose a narrative line on chaotic tragedy leaves the meaning of an event like Virginia Tech up for grabs. Whether it is 'impossible to make sense of such violence and suffering' (as President Bush told the VT convocation) is a question with deep consequences, open equally to dangerous political exploitation and to just as dangerous fatalism about prevention and accountability.

Sanjaya Expects Busy Future TIME
So what is next for Sanjaya, could he turn out to be one of the more successful people to come out of the show. While it is true that his singing leaves much to be desired, he has a name and a face that is known all over the world. He can use that image in a number of ways to further his career.
Sanjaya will be around for a while still. He has a live appearance on "Live with Regis and Kelly", the finale of American Idol next month and the Idol tour with the other top 10 winners
Given the nature of his popularity he says that he has already been looking into getting a body guard. I think it says something about our nation that he would feel like he needs a body guard. To be honest I might be feeling much the same way.
In talking about his critics, he said that he tried to take it all in stride and to make it a positive experience. He says that he is a much stronger person after this than when he began. He tells Time that he was shocked by his own staying power, especially in the face of Simon Cowell's increasingly harsh statements.

School threats sweep country Chron.com - Houston Chronicle
While I can't understand the actions of the Gunman in Virginia, and the lives he took, he clearly was troubled. What is even worse than that is the stream of threats that have been leveled at school across the country following the event. These are people who crave the attention so much, that calling a school and causing panic and worry is nothing to them. I say that when these people are caught, they should pay the price, charge them for the act that they are committing and that is terrorism.

Alec Baldwin's Threatening Message to Daughter - TMZ.com:
"'This crap you pull on me with this goddamn phone situation that you would never dream of doing to your mother,' screamed Baldwin, 'and you do it to me constantly over and over again.'"
TMZ has what appears to be a recording of a voicemail message left by Alec Baldwin on his daughter's phone. The anger erupts towards his 11-year-old daughter Ireland in a rabid display of vulgar language over her not taking his calls. He claims that he sets aside certain times of the day to call her and she won't answer the phone. In a threatening tone, he talks about flying out there in a plane to set her straight. Throughout the message his tone is aggressive and the names he calls his child are dirty. In fact a judge was so shocked by the message when she heard it, she temporarily bared him from contact with Ireland.
