Are news media outlets promoting terrorism by talking about new video messages from osama bin laden?

Question

I think it's absolutely irresponsible journalism to show and or talk about new terror tapes from bin laden when he talks his garbage. I've even seen media outlets tell us where to see the tapes and this is just "shock-journalism" for getting ratings!

To me this is no different then showing us hours and hours of videos about school shooting which no doubt inspires other losers to copy the shootings.

In my opinion the school shootings and tapes should simply be refered to as "just another no-name idiot" who did it. No publicity for him,only attention given to the victims.

Answer 1

As long as Bin Laden, and others are threatening the security of half the world, I feel we have the right to know.

I do not think news coverage will influence them to launch more attacks, they have probably got plans to any way.
