Amen Mr. Read

From the PR News wire...

Peter Read, who lost his 19-year-old daughter Mary to the shootings, also urged television stations to stop broadcasting the hate-filled videos of Cho, the 23-year-old English major who carried out the killings, and several networks agreed to scale back.

"We want the world to know and celebrate our children's lives, and we believe that's the central element that brings hope in the midst of great tragedy," Read said. "These kids were the best that their generation has to offer."

I suggest we take the Imus approach - if you believe that the airing of Cho's video/pictures should be turned off - then please let the advertisers that support those stations know you will no longer be buying their products or watching that station. And make good on your threat.
