Cooper has the sickest bunch of bros/fellow comrades/citizens on record. Dig the title of the segment sequence.

Suicide Car Bomb; Return to Campus; Deadliest Shooting; Missed Signals; Money Gap

These idiots are trying to instill a different form of fear. The fear of fantasy in that the killer in Virginia could actually drive a suicide vehicle into a campus. Amazing. Tell me something Anderson, would that be another record setter for Bush or what? Not only that but it actually might have LESS victims than the shooting did.

Morons. These people are nothing but complete morons that would do anything for their political ploys.

The immorality of exploiting the death of innocent people is not to be understated here. This is outrageous. When are these jerks going to have their licensed pulled ?

There is an aspect of law rarely touched on in the USA due to issues with Freedom of Speech and the First Amendment. This area of 'media' is frequently scrutinized in countries such as China for content. The area of speech/communication/media is called "Criminally Instructive Speech."

Click here for link to an article from The Virginia Law Review:

A Test for Criminally Instructional Speech
Leslie Kendrick
Virginia Law Review, Vol. 91, No. 8.
(Dec., 2005), pp. 1973-2021.

There is a debate not often engaged, in that, media services, primarily the 'marginal' services that find strength in political preferences of a viewership that can afford cable services and have that preference, go too far.

With FOX News it's simply having their anchor's be abusive of the public whenever they call in and that is reverberated in 'social permission' as if this was an Aussie's (Rupert Murdock) 'way of doing things.' The information that FOX and CNN put forward is 'taylored' into misinformation that serves it's political priorities without respect for the public to 'know' the truth and 'let them decide.' FOX's motto is 'We report, you decide' but God help you if you decide differently than any of their online moderators want you to decide. The listener is barraged with unmitigated anger from the moderator to whatever they deem acceptable. It's far more than brow meeting it meets the standards of verbal abuse and ridicule. They have no room to report on anyone else if that same 'speech mode' is noted in the news with popular figures.

Now, where that exists is questionably appropriate for a media service and in my opinion registers in the venue of criminal intent because it's deceptive. The 'idea' is to invite an unsuspecting, and average people are unsuspecting, into the rhelm of 'conversation/voiceing an opinion' and then turn on them like bats out of hell to use them as a person of ridicule in whatever they are saying. That is fraud because it is premediated and over the last few weeks of listening, which I am no longer doing, I have heard some really bad ridicule of unsuspecting people that never deserved it. They simply wanted to participate in a debate or vairing of opinion. It's been horrible to hear the ridicule and exploitation of democracy and it's principles in capitalism that are exploited by FOX.

Now where Anderson Cooper 360 enters directly into Ciminally Instructive Speech is this:

Suicide Car Bomb; Return to Campus; Deadliest Shooting; Missed Signals; Money Gap

It is very different than the first hour's titles where the program is 'tuned' for East Coast and European audiences and the 11:00 PM hour is for Los Angeles and Southern California.

Virginia Tech Shooter's Roommate Speaks Out; Suicide Car Bombing Kills Nine Americans in Iraq; Nightmare in Paradise

Similar coverage with far different titles and the first being very suggestive of further violence. Now some might say that is coincidence but it is far from 'innocent' in it's etiology and resultant and encouraged thought pattern. I am sure when I sift through the two hours later, I'll find a far different 'tone' to each hour and one more violent in content than the other.

When I first saw the title to the 11:00 PM hour it immediately went to thoughts of 'enhanced' violence and thought promotion to that violence than something I would expect as a title to a program segment.

Everyone knows when a crime is committed there is a 'copy cat' effect carried forward by people marginally 'thinking about it.' Where that is most profoundly realized is in looking at television impact on society from as far back as 1950 whereby reports of suicide reported in the media, spawned more of same. That is different. We saw a gunman take hostages and cause death at least in two other instances following the Virginia Tech killings and one was at NASA.

What I am writing about is an escalation of violence that is propagated by the media engaged in 'the hate industry.' In other words, media knows full well it's brevity of pressure news brings to a society. Even reporting of a popular wedding brings stress to a society and fantasy of high expectations begins to play into relationships. Most social venues are effected by media. The venue of 'hate' exists, we witnessed it's not so benign effects with the IMUS issue. As a matter of fact that particular circumstance has been a bit of a lightning rod to help bring focus to the issue as I noted an editorial by Bob Herbert about the mistreatment of women in the NYPD. Social pressure when it's focus is positive can be a very good thing.

As a side note here I might add, Barak Hussein Obama has been a bit of a lightning rod himself. It is impressive to hear that a Democratic Candidate is spurring change in unexpected ways. Other than the bigotry issue with IMUS there is also the comment he made in response to criticism of his views about the USA military and it's need to exit Iraq. Senator Obama was criticized by John Howard of Australia. The good Senator shot back with the fact Australia was not nearly as vested in the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq as the USA and therefore could not carry an opinion such as that with much authority. I noted in a report from "The Australian" that Prime Minister Howard has since doubled his commitment in the number of troops in Afghanistan. Not Iraq now, but, Afghanistan. I am impressed. A Democratic candidate actually carries such clout that Prime Minister Howard decided to answer the Senator's response with action. However, action into Afghanistan to bolster NATO and the Brits but not into Iraq. Interesting.

But to return to the subject at hand. Let's say in a day or two or a week or so later, a suicide bomber decides to do something stupid in this country. Where would they have gotten the idea and the incentive to go forward? My guess, is from the program 'stringing' of issues by Anderson Cooper 360. That is a news media taking license with the public trust in a way that is harmful, raising unnecessary fears and even motives for criminals to act when in fact it might have never occurred to them before.

That to me is Criminally Instructive Speech that is very slick and very sick. I am quite confident they'll seek to prove differently tonight, but, that is always short lived and they return to old patterns of hate and deception in a matter of a day or two when they feel they have hooked a few more viewers or listeners for whatever reason they have.

later...
