The list was compiled from a 2002 study by the U.S. Secret Service and the U.S. Department of Education. The researchers studied various case files and other primary sources for 37 attacks by current or former students. They also interviewed 10 of the perpetrators in these attacks. According to the list, the most common myths are: There Are No Profiles - There is no accurate way to profile students for being at risk of committing crimes like this. When creating a profile, you will be at risk of having many innocent people fit the &#39;profile&#39; and many attackers who do not. According to the article, "The demographic, personality, school history and social characteristics of the attackers varied substantially. Attackers were of all races and family situations, with academic achievement ranging from failing to excellent." He Just Snapped - Attacks are not usually impulsive. Instead, the attackers usually plan their attacks, spending time forming the idea and gathering weapons. No One Knew - Before most attacks, the perpetrators reveal to someone their plans, usually a friend, classmate or sibling. However, this information rarely makes it to an adult. He Hadn&#39;t Threatened Anyone - A person doesn&#39;t need to vocalize a threat to pose a threat. A student who is seeking revenge, has spoken of bringing a gun to school, etc, is a threat. According to the article, "Most attackers did not threaten and most threateners did not attack." He Was a Loner - Most of the perpetrators of school shootings were kids who participated in clubs, sports or other activities. Only one-quarter of shooters were "fringe" students. He Was Crazy - While most of the perpetrators had a history of suicidal thoughts, depression and trouble dealing with loss or personal failures, only one-third had ever been seen by mental health professional and only one-fifth were diagnosed with a mental disorder. If Only We&#39;d Had a SWAT Team or Metal Detectors - SWAT teams usually arrive once an incident is over and metal detectors won&#39;t deter students intent on killing themselves or others. He&#39;d Never Touched a Gun - Most shooters have touched a gun at some point in their lives and many acquire guns from their homes. We Did Everything We Could to Help Him - Most perpetrators of school shootings have felt bullied, persecuted or injured by others before committing their crimes and most have tried to get some sort of help. School Violence Is Rampant - It may seem as though we see school shootings in the news on a regular basis, but school shootings are actually very rare. So, in light of the recent shooting at Virginia Tech, do UC Irvine students feel more at risk? Anthony Marsh, a fourth-year history major, feels that we are not at risk. "In California, there are stricter gun control laws so it isn&#39;t as easy for people to wantonly walk into gun shops and purchase them." Another student, who wishes to remain anonymous disagrees. "This shooting has shown me that violence like this can occur anywhere, even on college campuses. What I am most afraid of is that in Irvine, we won&#39;t be prepared if something of this nature happens. The administration and police might not know what to do." Professor Linda Vo, an Asian-American studies professor, hopes that we will use this tragedy in order to strengthen our own school policies. "I do hope that we use this opportunity to reevaluate our mental health policies on university campuses and make improvements where necessary. College campuses are now more diverse than ever before, so it&#39;s important to have counselors who are trained to work with their needs. Everyone is making changes in response to this tragedy in order to better serve the school community in a time of crisis. Currently, the UCI Police Department is going over and revamping procedures in order to prepare for such an event. But if something were to occur, would they be ready? Hopefully, we will never know. -- Original Source:<a href=http://www.newuniversity.org/showArticle.php?id=5713>New University - April 23, 2007</a> Language A language of the resource eng Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource Zachary Gale <newueic@gmail.com> Title A name given to the resource Campus Mourns Virginia Tech Tragedy (Part 2) myths profile risk school shootings university of california - irvine Document A resource containing textual data.

"이틀 전 이곳에 왔었는데 유독 승희 추모석만 썰렁했다. &#39;승희 역시 가해자이자 희생자&#39;라는 생각이 들었다. 그에게도 우리와 같은 영혼이 있다. 어머니와도 상의했는데 동의했다. 그래서 어제 편지를 써 올려놨다. 오늘 와보니 편지와 꽃이 많이 놓여 있어 기쁘다." -범인의 총에 숨진 사람들과 범인을 똑같이 추모하는 건 지나치다는 비판도 있지 않을까. "수렁에 빠져 &#39;살려 달라&#39;고 외쳤지만 아무도 오지 않아 며칠, 몇 달, 몇 년을 갇혀 지냈다고 생각해 보라. 승희가 그런 상황이었을 것이다. 그를 탓하기 전에 우리가 그에게 도움의 손을 뻗치지 않은 걸 뉘우쳐야 한다." -범인을 용서하자는 것인가. "용서는 살아있는 자만 누릴 수 있는 특권이다. 지금 누구보다 힘들고 어려운 사람들은 승희의 가족일 것이다. 그들을 만난다면 꼭 안아주고, 할 수 있는 모든 도움을 주고 싶다. 미국이 그들을 감싸 줘야 한다." -조승희는 한국 출신이다. "이번 사건은 한 개인의 잘못일 뿐 인종.국가와는 관계없다. 책임은 우리(미국)에게 있다...." 이날 33개 추모석을 줄지어 참배한 2000여 미국인들은 조승희의 것 앞에선 한참 동안 멈춰 생각에 잠겼다. 상당수는 편지들을 꼼꼼히 읽었다. 부모가 아이에게 편지를 읽게 하는 모습도 보였다. 그러나 "어떻게 범인을 추모하느냐"고 언성을 높이거나 편지를 찢고, 추모석을 훼손하는 사람은 아무도 없었다. 용서와 포용의 현장이다. 블랙스버그=강찬호 특파원 [stoncold@joongang.co.kr] -- Original Source: Joins.com/ JoongAng Daily <a href="http://article.joins.com/article/article.asp?total_id=2702788 ">http://article.joins.com/article/article.asp?total_id=2702788</a> Language A language of the resource ko Title A name given to the resource `우리가 먼저 승희에게 손 내밀었어야` joongang daily joins.com Document A resource containing textual data.

"한마디로 우리가 현장에서 가깝다는 지리적 이점을 최대로 살린 덕분이다. 우리는 사건현장 노리스 홀에서 한두 블록 거리의 학생회관에서 막 업무를 시작하고 있었다. &#39;탕탕&#39;하는 총소리가 연속해 들리는 순간 반사적으로 기자들을 현장에 내보냈다. 경찰들이 출입을 막고 있어 현장에 들어갈 순 없었지만 강의실에서 실려 나오는 학생들을 보면서 상황이 파악됐다." 켄들은 "이번 사건은 한마디로 비정상적인 정신상태를 가진 한 개인의 범죄"라며 "언론은 이런 사실을 더도 덜도 말고 객관적으로 전달해야 한다"고 말했다. 그는 "사건 초기 CNN방송 등 주류 언론들은 이 범죄를 &#39;악마가 저지른 끔찍한 악행&#39;식으로 지나치게 극화했다"고 비판하고 "그러나 시간이 흐를수록 사건의 본질이 드러나면서 주류 언론들의 시각도 상당히 바로잡힌 것 같다"고 평했다. 칼리지에이트 타임스는 첫 특종 이후에도 범인 조승희의 룸메이트와 영작문을 담당하는 지오바니 교수 등 결정적 인물들을 인터뷰해 주류 언론들이 이를 그대로 싣는 특종 행진을 이어갔다. "학교신문이기 때문에 손쉽게 인터뷰했나 싶지만 당사자들을 섭외하기가 아주 어려웠다"며 "조승희의 룸메이트였거나 강의를 함께 듣는 학생들을 이 잡듯 뒤졌으나 모두 &#39;괴롭다. 기자와 만날 기분이 아니다&#39;며 거절했고 단 한 사람만 인터뷰에 응했다"고 켄들은 말했다. 블랙스버그=강찬호 특파원 -- Original Source: Joins.com/ JoongAng Daily <a href="http://article.joins.com/article/article.asp?total_id=2701800 ">http://article.joins.com/article/article.asp?total_id=2701800</a> Language A language of the resource ko Title A name given to the resource 버지니아공대 학교신문 편집장 조 켄들 인터뷰 joins.com joongang daily https://www.april16.vtlibraries.net/files/original/Ismael Ax + Email To Wendell Flinchum_32c26432ce.doc null Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Elva Orozco Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Charles Peña Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2007-08-02 Description An account of the resource Por Charles Peña 2 de junio de 2007 No es ninguna sorpresa que a raíz de la tragedia de Virginia Tech en abril de 2007 en la que 33 personas resultaron muertas, el control de las armas se haya convertido en un tema en la carrera hacia la presidencia de 2008. Después de la matanza indiscriminada, el candidato presidencial demócrata John Edwards de Carolina del Norte pidió más restricciones, mientras que el senador republicano John McCain de Arizona ha dicho que el incidente no lo no lo haría dejar de respaldar los derechos de los propietarios de armas. Y el Instituto Para la Acción Legislativa de la Asociación Nacional del Rifle (NRA es su sigla en inglés) emitió recientemente este comunicado de alerta: "Una audiencia unilateral el martes [10 de mayo de 2007] en el Subcomité sobre Política Doméstica del Comité Para la Supervisión y Reforma Gubernamental de la Cámara de Representantes, presidido por el candidato presidencial con remotas posibilidades Dennis Kucinich (Demócrata de Ohio) [calificado con una "F" por la NRA], fue utilizada por quienes se oponen a las armas como una plataforma para impulsar las mismas, antiguas y trilladas restricciones en contra de ellas". Inevitablemente, el tema de las armas y de su propiedad gira en torno a la Segunda Enmienda (que algunos dirán que está crípticamente redactada): "En consideración a que una milicia bien regulada resulta necesaria para la seguridad de un estado libre, el derecho de la población a poseer y portar armas no será restringido". Por lo tanto—en un sentimiento compartido por muchos propietarios de armas—no resulta sorprendente que Donald Harkrader, un vendedor de armas situado a apenas a unas millas del campo universitario de la Virginia Tech, diría, "Hay una razón por la cual tenemos a la Constitución. Detesto ver que sería de este país sí empezásemos a ignorar a la Constitución". La implicancia es que la Segunda Enmienda es la Constitución, o que es el derecho individual más importante enumerado en ella. La pregunta para Harkrader, la NRA y especialmente los aspirantes presidenciales que apoyan la propiedad de armas por parte de ciudadanos respetuosos de las leyes es: ¿cuál es su posición respecto de las otras enmiendas? Dado que los republicanos generalmente son considerados más partidarios de las armas que los demócratas—y dado que el control de armas es potencialmente un tema que establece un criterio de rechazo del eventual nominado republicano—vale la pena examinar la posición de los aspirantes republicanos a la presidencia sobre otras cuestiones constitucionales relevantes, en la medida que se relacionan con otorgarle al gobierno facultades adicionales, incluso más arrolladoras, en nombre de proporcionar protección no tan solo contra tiradores solitarios, sino los terroristas globales. El niño del afiche en favor de un poder gubernamental creciente en nombre de la lucha contra el terrorismo es la Ley PATRIOTA de los EE.UU. (Ley para Unir y Fortalecer a los Estados Unidos mediante la Provisión de las Herramientas Apropiadas Necesarias para Interceptar y Obstruir el Terrorismo), la cual permite allanamientos "furtivos"—cuando los oficiales encargados de la aplicación de las leyes allanan un hogar o comercio sin el permiso ni conocimiento del propietario u ocupante—y la utilización expandida de las "Cartas de la Seguridad Nacional", que facultan a la Oficina Federal de Investigaciones (FBI) a investigar registros telefónicos, de correo electrónico y financieros sin una orden judicial. Ambas provisiones son ataques directos contra la Cuarta Enmienda, con su protección contra un allanamiento y confiscación irrazonable, y su exigencia de obtener antes una orden. Un demócrata fue el único senador estadounidense en votar en contra de la Ley PATRIOTA: Russ Feingold de Wisconsin (calificado con una "D" por la NRA en 2004). Y ni un solo senador republicano votó en contra de la renovación de la Ley en marzo de 2006. Del lado de la Cámara de Representantes, el único aspirante republicano (y considerado con pocas chances) que votó en dos oportunidades en contra de la Ley fue Ron Paul de Texas (resulta interesante que, en los comicios de 2006, la NRA le concedió al contrincante demócrata de Paul una calificación más alta). Es también particularmente notable que el representante Paul fue uno de los pocos republicanos—de todos los miembros de la Cámara de Representantes de los EE.UU.—que votó en contra de la Resolución sobre la Guerra de Irak en octubre de 2002. En el entendimiento de que el Estado implica la mayor amenaza para la libertad y que las mayores expansiones del poder estatal ocurren durante las épocas de guerra, Paul claramente reconoció que esta era una guerra innecesaria contra una amenaza fantasma. Ya sea que se trate de la imposición de la Ley PATRIOTA de los EE.UU. o de otorgarle al presidente la facultad unilateral e irrestricta para declarar a ciudadanos estadounidenses "enemigos combatientes"—negándoles el debido proceso garantizado por la Quinta Enmienda—diluyendo a la Constitución so pretexto de proteger a los estadounidenses en contra del terrorismo no difiere fundamentalmente de la erosión de la Segunda Enmienda en nombre de salvar al pueblo de la violencia de las armas. Por lo tanto, Donald Harkrader está en lo correcto respecto de la significación de la Constitución. Pero o bien toda ella importa o nada de ella lo hace—no solamente la Segunda Enmienda. Y los aspirantes presidenciales de todos los sectores harían bien en tomar en cuenta a la admonición de Benjamin Franklin: "Aquellos dispuestos a perder libertades esenciales a cambio de un poco de seguridad temporal, no merecen ni libertad ni seguridad".

Steger DATE: May 16, 2007 SUBJECT: Handling Information Requests About Events of April 16, 2007 Approved by the President: May 16, 2007 Effective Date: Immediately Expiration Date: Indefinite - to be determined As you know, Governor Kaine has appointed an independent Virginia Tech Review Panel ("the Massengill Panel") to review the events of April 16 and the surrounding circumstances. The Panel has retained the assistance of a private consulting company, TriData Corporation, in conducting the review. As I stated in my comments to the Panel last week in Richmond, the university will provide all information requested to assure a comprehensive review. To accomplish this, your assistance is needed. In order to ensure an orderly and complete response to requests for information from the Panel, I have appointed Lenwood McCoy to serve as the university&#39;s liaison with the Panel. Mr. McCoy is a very experienced retired employee who is highly respected and very knowledgeable about the university. Mr. McCoy will clear and coordinate all responses to requests for information relative to the events of April 16, including those that originate from individuals or groups other than the Panel. Most requests to you or your unit for information about the events of April 16 will come from Mr. McCoy, and you should respond fully to his requests. However, if you receive a request from elsewhere, do not respond directly; rather, forward the request to Mr. McCoy. You may contact Mr. McCoy at mccoy@vt.edu or 540-231-0066. There are to be no exceptions to this process. As you can well appreciate, there are a number of federal and state laws, as well as other legal considerations, associated with what information the university can provide and under what circumstances. Regrettably, we expect that there will also be individuals pretending to be associated with the review who may attempt to get information from you. Mr. McCoy can ensure that the university complies with applicable laws relative to the release of information and can also verify the identities of those making legitimate requests. Finally, I want to advise you of three internal working groups that I have established to help us determine what steps the university can take to lessen the risk of such tragedies in the future. They are: Telecommunications Infrastructure -- locking systems, surveillance, etc. Interface between Counseling, Judicial Affairs, Academic Affairs, and the legal system. Let me reiterate that Mr. McCoy will clear and coordinate all responses to requests for information relative to the events of April 16, including those that originate from these working groups, the Panel, or any other individuals or groups. Further, let me also take this opportunity to remind you that: All requests for information made under the Freedom of Information laws should be referred immediately to University Legal Counsel: Kay Heidbreder, heidbred@vt.edu, 231-6293. As standard practice, all media requests for information should continue to be referred to University Relations: Larry Hincker (Hincker@vt.edu, 231-5396) or Mark Owczarski (maowczar@vt.edu, 231-5223). Most importantly, thank you for your assistance and support during these difficult times.

Our university community was bolstered and comforted by the outpouring of support from campuses around the nation and the world. I am sure that expressions of support from the Virginia Tech community will mean much to that now suffering campus community. We should take this opportunity now to reach out and help each other. I am convinced that our university community coped because of our care and concern for every member of the extended Hokie Family. I ask you to look out for your each other and seek help through university services if necessary. Students can call Cook Counseling Center anytime at 231-6557. Employees call anytime to 866-725-0602. I wish you the best. Sincerely, Charles W.

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Brent Jesiek Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Charles Warner Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2007-05-26 Description An account of the resource Charles Warner / <a href="http://www.mediacurmudgeon.com/">Media Curmudgeon Blog</a> Television has once again gone on a rampage of gluttony over the tragic murders at Virginia Tech. However, it depends on your definition of what constitutes gluttony and what kind of TV you&#39;re talking about. First, all television is not cut from the same cloth. CNN, MSNBC, and Fox are all-news cable channels, so they have a 24-hour news hole to fill. Because TV is inelastic, the three national news channels can neither expand or contract time nor add or subtract hours to the clock. Thus they fill those 24-hours with what each thinks the majority of their viewers will find compelling. And, of course, they all choose the same stories in what has become a cycle of competitive reinforcement, confirmation, and excess. If CNN airs a story, then Fox and MSNBC producers say, "That confirms that the story is important�CNN (Fox, MSNBC) is running it." They also say, "We&#39;ve got to run the story more often and devote more resources to it or viewers will go elsewhere." Thus, the news cycle spins out of control. Furthermore, the three cable news networks have structured their programming in hour-long blocks, often with personality-hosts who do talk segments (Larry King, Lou Dobbs, Bill O&#39;Reilly), and the assumption, generally, is that viewers watch for about an hour, so they have to repeat the news cycle and the top stories every hour. In all-news radio, the news cycles are usually shorter. For example, New York&#39;s WINS has the famous tagline, "Give us 20 minutes and we&#39;ll give you the world." TV and radio all-news outlets are like a news faucet. The notion is that you can turn on a news station or channel at any time and the latest, most important news spews out. Therefore, if you watch a TV news channel for longer than an hour, which happens with breaking news like the Virginia Tech story, you see the top story repeated, giving the impression of saturation and excess. And if you get sick of the coverage on one cable news network and turn to another, you see the same top story repeated, which increases the perception of excess coverage. Furthermore, TV has much greater impact than any other medium because it engages viewers&#39; emotions through its blend of sight, sound, motion, and emotion. Thus videos of airplanes crashing into buildings or a killer&#39;s deadly ramblings leave much more dramatic and lasting impressions. And it is these impressions that magnify the perception of excess. TV and radio are real-time linear; you can&#39;t rewind or fast forward. They are linear-accessed push media for which the audience can&#39;t control what is pushed out; their only option is turn off or switch outlets. Conversely, print media and the Internet are non-linear pull media in which the audience can select what they want, go back and forth, and have random access to content they are interested in. Therefore, when people have no control over what is pushed to them, they are more frustrated than when they can control their content, can pull what they want as often as they want. With these parameters in mind, we can now ask several questions: 1) Should NBC have released the video, pictures, and ramblings of Cho Seung-Hui? 2) Overall, was the media coverage of the Virginia Tech massacre excessive and insensitive? 3) Is the media leading the charge to assign blame? 4) What is Cho&#39;s proper name? 1. Should NBC have released the video, pictures, and ramblings of Cho Seung-Hui? NBC News President Steve Capus made the right decision to release the images and ramblings, not only to show them on NBC but also to release them to other news organizations. First, it was in the public interest to have information about the psychopathic killer distributed for a number of reasons, not the least of which was to bring closure to the horror and reassure people that there was no larger plot. Also, as Jack Shafer of <a href="http://www.slate.com/id/2164717/nav/tap1/">Slate</a>, writes: "NBC News needn&#39;t apologize to anybody for originally airing the Cho videos and pictures. The Virginia Tech slaughter is an ugly story, but the five W&#39;s of journalism�who, what, where, when, and why�demand that journalists ask the question &#39;why?&#39; even if they can&#39;t adequately answer it. If you&#39;re interested in knowing why Cho did what he did, you want to see the videos and photos and read from the transcripts. If you&#39;re not interested, you should feel free to avert your eyes." NBC could not have kept the pictures for itself and away from other news organizations. But did it run the images too often? Yes, and it admitted as much by restricting their use after complaints from victims&#39; families, and Virginia Tech and Virginia officials. And while we don&#39;t know if the complaints had anything to do with the decision, I think they probably did. However, the manner in which NBC promoted the video tapes on Brian William&#39;s "Nightly News" was a little too self-congratulatory, and MSNBC was clearly over the top in its greedy self-promotion. Chris Matthews, in particular, should be pistol-whipped for his callous, gloating promotion of the Cho videos. But what&#39;s so surprising about that? NBC&#39;s grade is B minus for sharing the material and eventually restricting the use of the images to no more than 10 percent of any news program. MSNBC&#39;s grade is F. CNN&#39;s grade is D, mostly for contributing to the feeding-frenzy coverage. Fox News&#39; grade is F, for using the videos, as MSNBC did, as video wallpaper. NPR&#39;s grade is A. Without pictures, radio doesn&#39;t have the impact of TV, so NPR could be more thoughtful and do more meaningful, sensitive sidebars, which it did. 2. Overall, how was the media coverage of the Virginia Tech massacre; was it excessive and insensitive? Yes and yes. The amount of coverage was excessive because of the nature of cable and radio all-news outlets, particularly in the use of the killer&#39;s video on TV. Worse, in my view, was the invasion and occupation of the Virginia Tech campus by hordes of insensitive reporters who bombarded the privacy of the university, the campus, students, victims, and their families in a frenzy to get scoops. NPR recounted the story of a female student who lived in the dorm where the first killings took place. Her dorm was locked down, but, somehow, a female magazine reporter gained access, entered her room and asked her for an interview. The weeping student asked the reporter to leave and quit badgering her, and the reporter responded by handing the distraught student her business card and asked, "Call me." The student apparently replied, "What makes you think I&#39;d call you after what you just did?" CNN sent four anchors to the campus and broadcast from there on Thursday. Was that necessary? Absolutely not. It was excessive, intrusive, and insensitive. Freedom of speech, yes. Invasion of privacy, yes. Come on, CNN, can&#39;t you see the ironic insensitivity in overkill on an overkill? If the major media news organizations don&#39;t find a way to control this expensive, invasive, counter-productive feeding frenzy on major stories, they leave themselves vulnerable to the Federal government stepping in and regulating news coverage, which would be terrible. However, people are sick of this insensitive type of coverage, which gives them yet another reason for hating the media. So, slapping regulatory controls on the media by the government would more than likely be a popular move. The VT shootings might result in pool coverage of major stories, or guidelines or standards under the auspices of the Radio Television News Directors Association (RTNDA), but, whatever, the big news organizations had better do something. 3. Is the media leading the charge to assign blame? Yes. According to <a href="http://mediamatters.org/items/200704190009">Media Matters for America</a>, on the April 19 edition of "MSNBC Live" Boston radio host Michael Graham told MSNBC&#39;s David Gregory that the whole story of the mass shooting "is a story of people just freezing, of just letting him have their way [sic], except that one brave professor put himself in between the gunman and his students." So Graham blames the victims and MSNBC let him get away with it. <a href="http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,1612492,00.html">TIME magazine</a> ran a commentary by John Cloud titled "Viewpoint: Va. Tech&#39;s President Should Resign," which blames Virginia Tech president, Dr. Charles W. Steger, for the massacre, which is ridiculous. Others in the media have blamed "passive students," Virginia&#39;s mental health providers, the campus police, the state&#39;s gun control laws, Cho&#39;s family, and South Koreans. All are hysterical over-reactions, except perhaps the reaction to gun-control laws. Perhaps the media gets in a frenzy trying to find scapegoats to blame because it is trying deflect blame from itself to avoid the usual kill-the-messenger attitude of the public. 4. What&#39;s Cho&#39;s proper name? The New York Times, NBC, and MSNBC, among others, used the name Cho Seung-Hui, according to the Korean tradition of putting a family name first (thus, I would be Curmudgeon Media). CNN, NPR, and ABC, among others, used the American version of the name, Seung-Hui Cho, which I believe is proper because Cho&#39;s parents came to America when he was very young and he is a product of American culture, having gone to grade school, high school, and college in this country (his sister graduated from Princeton). Therefore, he should not have been referred to as "South Korean," which caused a rash of hate directed unfairly at Americans of South Korean decent and at South Koreans. Furthermore, the media confused the American public by using two different versions of his name. So, even though The New York Times used the Korean version, all the other media should have gone along, standardized the usage, and explained the American usage, as NPR did, in order to avoid confusion. And what is the overall grade for the media? A failing grade of D. When will the media get its act together? It probably won&#39;t as long as it tries to appeal to people&#39;s baser instincts in its competition for ratings and in its attempt to find the lowest level of taste and decency. I think NBC, ABC, and, at times, CBS are trying, but they are not succeeding, just barely getting a passing grade. The cable channels aren&#39;t even trying to be decent; they&#39;re just trying to beat each other.
