Apprentice 2 Jesus

Please permit me this rant. The tragedy of the shootings at Virginia Tech are overwhelming. The horrendous loss of life is simply staggering. Everytime I try to say anything about this I lose words. There are no words.

But it seems that suffering from a loss is not enough. Somehow we have to reach in and exploit the situation. The media has caught itself in a trap. They have allowed themselves to exploit the killer, allowing his homicidal rage to spew onto the airwaves, bringing dishonor to those who died.

NBC can talk all they want how they “wrestled with a difficult decision.” Excuse my sarcasm and doubt on this one. Simply put, it’s B— S—. They wrestled with it long enough to soothe their tiny conscience then raced off to air it because they knew what it meant: HUGE ratings. That is the name of the game, baby.

Of course lost in this story will be the victims. It will be all about what “WE” did as a society to this homicidal maniac.

If you read this, please click on my link to Christianty Today’s website (right side of this page). They are running stories of just who some of these victims were. Many were Christians. Campus Crusade at Virginia Tech says they lost several students in this senseless rampage.

Good people dead. Their names forgotten because NBC has to win a ratings race.

End…rant.
