After 32 years at ABC, NBC & CBS, I'm convinced the way to finally end school shootings is for the news NOT to sanitize them.
Example: release the Ulvade tapes in their entirety.
Let viewers hear the kids' heartbreaking anguished cries and see the terrible gore.
Only then might lawmakers act.

Not the reporters and producers who work there.
Before painting with too broad a brush, think of people like Clarissa Ward and her crew reporting live from bomb shelters in Kiev.

Let's not forget how Katherine Graham defied Nixon's henchmen during Watergate.
AG John Mitchell threatened the WaPo publisher, warning that her "tit (would be) caught in a big fat wringer" if the paper published a story exposing his corruption.
She published anyway!
Who will stand up now?

True.
The democracy question surely was NOT uppermost in their minds.
Will these critical discussions reach corporate boardrooms?
I wish I were more hopeful.

As someone who worked at the 3 major networks, I'm sure this terrible decision came from Disney corporate - not from GeSteph or others at ABC News. They get the implications.
Disney (Iger &board) simply did not want to be in court with Trump as he assumes power.
Strictly business to them.
