Can anyone get past pointing at the media?
A kid is dead, and that's a news story. The death is being investigated as a possible crime which is also a news story.
How, or if, the media is slanted really isn't the issue here. Whether the young man died because of hazing or alcohol is. The local authorities seem to believe that there is at least some legitimate evidence pointing to beating with bamboo and wood and underaged alcohol consumption.
Folks, I don't know how many times I've said it, but if there wasn't a story there would be no news coverage -- sensationalized or otherwise.
We aren't going to solve any problems -- and we have significant ones -- if we don't stop pointing our fingers at the media, the university administration, society in general or little green men and women. We have to address the ongoing problems that we ALL know exist.
We can't keep breaking the law, no matter how unfair the law may be, and expecting to get away with it.
