The Violence of Soundbites

The US media is being taxed and attacked over their attention to the sensational and to the soundbite. Editorials are with the students who are paying attention to the important things.

In the meantime, Seung-Hui Cho's family sent out an apology letter...knowing Asia, that letter was so so culturally-rooted and so heartfelt and so hit the mark, and the US media will make soundbites of it.

The students at Virginia Tech, and the Seung-Hui family, are in the core of this; the frenzied media looks shabby.
