Just a couple of days into the important debate and expression of anger over the airing of Cho Seung Hui's video by NBC, MSNBC, FoxNews and others (which I believe was irresponsible) , a gunman, who was known to have already fired at least one shot, took hostages at the Johnson Space Center. During this hostage situation, the television networks, as usual, aired live video (from helicopters) of police positions on the grounds, which could have been viewed by the hostage-taker if he had access to a television, and which could have cost the lives of hostages and/or police. Where's the outcry over this practice?
