Breaking! NBC has EXCLUSIVE RIGHTS to Air the Box of Cho's Video's sent to them!

Tweety and MSNBC/NBC Management on smiling and chortling at the "exclusive rights" they worked out with FBI to Broadcast what they received.

MSNBC/NBC RATINGS WILL GO THROUGH THE ROOF. They are Congratulating themselves for receiving this in such a short time and able to negotiating it all in time for tonight's broadcast.

It's now their soap opera as I posted elsewhere. Ratings, ratings, ratings!! Fuck MSM.

before they start patting themselves on the back.

Cho was a sick man. Leave it at that. Why not tell America about all the help he got from those who were supposed to prevent this sort of thing from happening?

:tinfoilhat:

he filmed before, during and after.

They'll be thrilled!

In fact, I'm having a hard time figuring out exactly what you're objecting to and why.

Because Dan and Walter are gone, and no way would he send it to kooky Katie.

Maybe he knew too that NBC would be more than happy to put it all out there.

Wonder if that would've sparked another argument between Geraldo and Billo

get's the HONORS...:puke:

The FBI could have snatched that shit out of NBC's hands.

I'm not saying they should have, but... granted exclusive
rights to the bloody material?

Remember how everyone criticized the Post and NYT for
publishing "exclusive" of Ted Kaczynski's manifesto,

saying they were "only" doing it in hopes it might lead to
the Unabomber being apprehended?

I don't remember them giving it out to rival papers, either.

It involves basic human decency, so it's not worth you troubling yourself over.

I think it's in the public's interest to know what was contained in those materials sent, and I don't consider it to be indecent whatsoever.

So if you want to lower your level of argument to nothing more than silly little personal putdowns, that's your choice. But I still find nothing technically wrong with the concept of NBC doing a story on these items tonight. It would seem to be total common sense that they would do a story on such a big breaking issue. Not sure why such a concept is something that I'm supposed to feign outrage over. I'm beginning to think that some here are just searching needlessly for every possible little detail contained in anything to gripe over, just for sake of griping.

Sure, the public's interested. The same way it was interested in watching gladiators stick each other with pitchforks.

They're interested, that don't make it decent.

and the Psychological Profiler Pundits (former FBI Agents) are all over it about how this will complete the picture of Cho for all of us. :eyes:

Amazing these "former FBI" Media Pundits and the amount of info they just happen to be able to spin off on such "short notice" in profiling this whole "case." I'm amazed at their knowledge and ability to piece together such a comprehensive profile when it was just revealed that NBC had received this package.

I wonder if the other cables: Fox and CNN are hoping there's a "package" from Cho waiting in their mailboxes that just got "delayed" for one reason or the other.

Hey...maybe Cho was a Tweety or Tucker fan? Or, maybe he read Jack Welch's best selling book on how to become SUCCESSFUL!

Katie Couric is going to chug a fifth of Jack Daniels during the newscast.

thanks I needed that one :)

If not,

Come back and report on what you've learned.

I'd forgotten about that movie. I suspect the Fay Dunaway character is now working for Faux...

For those who haven't seen "Network", run, don't walk and rent it.

:shrug:

i would not have expected any less...and the FBI had to make a deal, because short of a court order, NBC has no legal obligation to share or give up the stuff (and even with a court order, there are other legal steps NBC could take to stall indefinitely)...

watching it will see similar thinking in someone they know personally and realize their friend/relative might be on the same track.

Just give me something-something I can use
People love it when you lose,
They love dirty laundry

Well, I coulda been an actor, but I wound up here
I just have to look good, I dont have to be clear
Come and whisper in my ear
Give us dirty laundry

Kick em when theyre up
Kick em when theyre down
Kick em when theyre up
Kick em when theyre down
Kick em when theyre up
Kick em when theyre down
Kick em when theyre up
Kick em all around

We got the bubble-headed-bleach-blonde who
Comes on at five
She can tell you bout the plane crash with a gleam
In her eye
Its interesting when people die-
Give us dirty laundry

Can we film the operation?
Is the head dead yet?
You know, the boys in the newsroom got a
Running bet
Get the widow on the set!
We need dirty laundry

You dont really need to find out whats going on
You dont really want to know just how far its gone
Just leave well enough alone
Eat your dirty laundry

Kick em when theyre up
Kick em when theyre down
Kick em when theyre up
Kick em when theyre down

Kick em when theyre up
Kick em when theyre down
Kick em when theyre stiff
Kick em all around

Dirty little secrets
Dirty little lies
We got our dirty little fingers in everybodys pie
We love to cut you down to size
We love dirty laundry

We can do the innuendo
We can dance and sing
When its said and done we havent told you a thing
We all know that crap is king
Give us dirty laundry!

You can expect copycat killers. This stuff is golden for whackjobs.

that nbc was getting------- THE BOX!!!

Copyright inheres at the time a work of expression is fixed in tangible form. Registration is not required.

Until his death, Cho owned the copyright in those materials. Assuming he left no will recognized in Virginia, then the copyright would have reverted to his parents on his death.

His parents are entitled to enjoin publication of those materials by MSNBC.

However, even if they did know, lotsa luck trying to litigate against GE/NBC. :eyes:

But they could secure a TRO fairly quickly. One issue would be whether there was a cover letter from Cho conveying a license to broadcast.

Video Clips "througout the week" as to what Cho gave to them. (My Take: "Williams admits they will be 'releasing EVIDENCE' throughout the week to keep YOU VIEWERS TUNED IN TO NBC!"

How LOW can NBC/MSNBC GO! I guess in the GUTTER...buried under MUCK is the answer to THAT QUESTION!

:)

I have no idea what angle it could be bizarre...but something doesn't sit right with me about it. It reminds me of osama saying he votes for kerry just before elections. Just in time to block out an extremely bloody day in iraq and all of this political whitewash.

And just what the hell was with brian's "I don't want to create anymore heroes or martyrs" comment? Couldn't he just outright call them "Criminals" or "Delusional murderers"?

(or maybe even less) this type of material would have been pooled for anybody who wanted to broadcast or print it.

There would also would have been close scrutiny about what was aired.

Journalists used to have ethics. Now, the bean-counters are in charge. That's why I'm out.
