    Is it crazy to say it should be illegal to make killers famous? Is it crazy to say it should be illegal to interview little kids on air?

        @mattklewis The former would definitely require a constitutional amendment. Not sure about the constitutionality of the latter.

        @mattklewis I’m not saying “OMG FIRST AMENDMENT!” Just saying (descriptively) it would wasted effort b/c courts wouldn’t allow it.

        @JoshLee_ar How many more incidents of media responsibility will it take before we take this problem seriously?

        @mattklewis I’m all for taking it seriously, but wouldn’t shaming, boycotting, and other private action be best? No big government and all?

        @JoshLee_ar It's not going to work. This requires the Federal Government.

        @mattklewis It isn't crazy but it is wrong. We need professional standards for news media, particularly for television news.

        @mattklewis Yes! Why can't media Orgs voluntarily follow such guidelines? Why must Govt always make something illegal for us to act morally?

        @ChuckSRQ Sadly, this demands government enforcement.

        @mattklewis I disagree, history has shown that private organizations can come together to voluntarily follow industry standards.

        @mattklewis I am pleased that I've seen hardly any pics of the killer this time around. Seems like media is self editing a little, no?

        @mattklewis Sorry, but on the raw video feeds I saw, reporters asked the kids' parents for permission before interviewing them.

        @mattklewis If so, then books about killers and war reporting should also be illegal.

        .@mattklewis Little kids closely resemble 'adult' #Democrats in emotional maturity. Making killers #FamousKillers enable Leftist ideology.

        @mattklewis 1) yes, it is. "famous" is value-lade word, in eye of beholder. Is Hitler "famous?" 2) no, it's not
