NBC News Issues Updated Broadcast Standards for Future Mass Murderers
Mr. Capus was harshly critical of the grainy video and muffled audio of Mr. Cho’s tape, saying that “we live in an HD age, and we think it is essential that our mass murderers’ tapes be of HD quality.”
In what was perhaps his most damning comment about the quality of Mr. Cho’s tape, Mr. Capus said, “I want all future mass murderers to remember that NBC stands for No Bad Camerawork.”
After reporters asked Mr. Capus if, in retrospect, he wished that the timing of the broadcast of Mr. Cho’s video had been different, the NBC News chief admitted that he did.
“We aired that video too soon after Mr. Cho’s rampage,” Mr. Capus said. “We should have held it until May sweeps.”
