Another fucking spree shooting. Great.

all news media is str8 garbage, it's so depressing

There's about two dozen media outlets in there, I was watching some ghoul from Sky TV traipsing around, trying not to bump into various other camera crews and reporters babbling away and leafing through documents etc etc.

MSNBC Televised 'journalism' is a disgrace to humanity

this is a real low point

The shooting made me feel sad and hopeless. This makes me feel furious and hopeless. I hope every one of these motherfuckers loses their job at the very least.

Are there criminal charges that might apply to what these walking shitstains did?

like what

the thin scrim of journalistic integrity, concern, and responsibility falls away yet again

trespassing. not knowing CA law, but in most cases a landlord can't let another party into your home.

Surely if you cease to exist though?

Evidence tampering? Obstruction of justice? Assuming this was still an active crime scene.

it wasn't, apparently

i'm seeing conflicting things on that too

The thing is, you know that they knew this was a fucked up thing to do, and they probably know that they're in for a slap on the wrist from law enforcement/the feds/the president/public opinion and have a "aw gee whiz and shucks sorry we were such bad widdle boys" statement prepared.

ban all 24-hour news channels

bring back print media

cnn has a video that says the crime scene was cleared for the landlord, who then let reporters in. It doesn't seem like the reporters had direct permission from police, so the landlord could be lying.

which would hopefully result in charges

ban all 24-hour news channels

bring back print media

preach

Hey, great, we got it cleared up!

anderson cooper seemed aghast while talking to his own cnn reporter who was in there. like he couldn't believe it had come to this.

As well he should!

news are vultures

Where's Hildy Johnson in all this?

idk if anyone here remembers the craig rabinowitz case but the parents of the victim lived across the street from us and when it happened the media swarmed our block trying to get statements from the neighbors and my mom told them that they should be ashamed and should respect the privacy of the family and that they're vultures and i remember the news guy looked really chastened. ironically (or whatever) someone v close to me is serving time and has become buddies w/ craig bc they're like 2 of the 3 or so only Jews in the facility.

I admit I lolled

freedom of speech how else are we going to True Detective all the clues and figure out the next attack /s

Nightcrawler was exactly the first thing this made me think of. I have to wonder how many people working in journalism have a nightly spank sesh watching that thing.

aside from the journalists disgracing themselves, this is another reminder that (most) landlords are scum

I wonder if the landlord is the only one who can be charged

I wouldn't be surprised if s/he charged for access

Was there police tape?

Sky News have previous when it comes to this sort of thing: 'We shouldn't really be doing this, I suppose.'

On live TV, a reporter used a crowbar to pry off plywood that had been put across the front door of Syed Farook and Tashfeen Malik’s home

though it seems this was done with the landlord's permission.

Jon Passantino ✔ @passantino
CNN reporters outside San Bernardino killers' home says landlord was escorted away by law enforcement, put into unmarked vehicle

schadenfreude

what happened to the 'third person' they had in custody? also, who was it who bought the firearms? they said they were legally purchased by someone who wasn't the shooter.

UPDATE 3:08: Here’s MSNBC’s statement on the matter. Take note of the boast about having the first “live shots from inside.”

MSNBC and other news organizations were invited into the home by the landlord after law enforcement officials had finished examining the site and returned control to the landlord. Although MSNBC was not the first crew to enter the home, we did have the first live shots from inside. We regret that we briefly showed images of photographs and identification cards that should not have been aired without review.

you were probably
hoping
to keep out of live shots

and so interesting

shooter purchased the hand guns. they know who purchased the assault weapons and "want to question him/her," but they haven't said who this person is.

this is still so bizarre
