Sandy hook and the shock value associated with horrible acts such as these

a class room of children 5-10 years old massacred, parents and children alike scared, devestated by the loss of friends and family, the innocence of a child lost forever from those who survived and witnessed it. I have one question besides the obvious "how could you kill innocent children and destroy so many others lives" and this question is to CBS and any other news channel who is doing it. how on earth do you think its right to show pictures of children crying at the loss of classmates, at witnessing this horror, what i assume a mother in dismay on the phone at what has happened, over and over while you cover this story? its not right and the fact that you want shock value for views is disturbing. at least thats the only explanation i can come to about your actions.


Do these news channels REALLY need to invest, be it true or false, shock value? I would think when murders, suicides, terrorist attacks, hell you name it if it falls in the catagory of " oh my god what has happened? this is horrible" would be shocking enough... but i suppose they want more views on the websites and tv Statations they are associated with. (which would mean more money for them I would assume, be it direct payments or not)
