I understand Jek's point of view because I used to think along those lines too. I've always loved how well Natural Born Killers illustrates the media as victim exploiters angle. But it just doesn't seem realistic to me that they are showing graphic footage to boost their ratings. When a tragedy like this strikes people who want to know what's going on are going to be glued to CNN for updates. It's not like the typical Springer crowd is going to migrate to CNN on the off-chance that some prime suffering will be on.
