Last week CNN posted the following: Dad: Virginia Tech treated suicidal son like ‘joke’While the story is newsworthy, I believe it was in poor taste for CNN to post the article LAST WEEK. I responded with the following comment, but haven’t heard anything back (nor did my post make it on their comment section).
I am outraged this was published, on the day before the year anniversary of the shootings at Virginia Tech, where thirty-three people lost their lives, including the shooter. How crass of CNN to scrutinize Virginia Tech at a time their students, faculty, staff and alumni are focused on healing from such a horrible incident. It was inappropriate timing on CNN’s part and I believe the editors should have been more respectful to the many people affected by the shootings of April 16, 2007.
