Hugh Hewitt brings us the views of several journalists of both the left and the right in their condemnation on NBC's decision to air the Cho death video on their nightly news broadcast. The opinions are pretty similar across the board. The network was remarkably irresponsible in airing the video and deserves condemnation. Hugh seems to think that they should be sued as well, which as Patterico says is just silly. Still, it is hard to excuse the executives given that they are a law unto themselves and clearly did not consider the wider effects of their actions. At the very least, I would say don't bother watching them any more, assuming that you are still watching them at all. The networks are on the way out in any case. This is just a desperate attempt to prolong their existence before the ship sinks beneath the waves. They don't deserve a lifeboat.
