Media gets people killed every day. Rusty Houser for instance...was a big media star Triana Jul 2015 #6
When was Houser on NBC and their "radical star"? (and he only killed 3 including himself, not 9) George II Jul 2015 #14
TV hosts remember alleged Lafayette gunman as anti-tax, anti-feminist ‘gadfly’ Triana Jul 2015 #17
That's a local NBC affiliate, not the Network itself. I wouldn't believe Houser's guest host claims George II Jul 2015 #18
Doesn't make a bit of difference. Media promoted him & gave him publicity & platform. Triana Jul 2015 #19
"Media" promoted him? One local television show host in Georgia represents "the media"? George II Jul 2015 #20
