I've been following this thread, and pardon my frankness, but those of you
who would air 911 calls are a bunch of clods.

Why in the H E double L would you want to air someone's grief and anguish,
for the sake of a sensationalist broadcast?

My opinion of broadcasting in general just took a huge nosedive.

Rights to it indeed. If you air these, I hope the hell someone airs YOUR
personal tragedy someday. Then see how YOU like it.

Angrily yours,
