E, I think you have hit on one of the truly frightening aspects of television. It lends an almost normal feeling to the most ghastly situations. I recall listening to recordings of Edward R. Morrow from London during the Blitz, and contrasting it to the video game-like quality of the coverage during the Gulf war. I think some of us look at violence and mayhem as entertainment. What is to be gained by "eyewitness news" type coverage? Maybe this kind of coverage feeds the dementia of these psychopaths. They will recall the awe in the boy's voice when he said 'they will be remembered', and perhaps that will be an additional inducement to recreate this horror.
