Before anyone starts jumping on Fox News for whatever axe they have to grind with them, please substitute Fox News with "CNN" or "MSNBC" and ask yourself if your vitriol would be just the same.
I am going to be completely up front and honest about this. It's gonna show that I'm a jerk. But I do have an issue with the way this article is presented. The title of this story says a 'suicide went viral'. If my anecdote is any indication, I don't think that's quite true. I didn't seek out that video to watch a suicide. Instead I went to find it so I could see Fox News screw up.
The story I heard on the radio about this while driving home wasn't that a guy committed suicide, but that Fox News aired it and claimed it was accidental. The radio personalities were accusing Fox News of airing the suicide just to get ratings. Mainly they took issue with the delay only being 5 seconds and how anybody knows it could take longer than that to have it sink in what was happening.
No hard feelings if you think I'm a bad person for it, but yeah I'm always game to watch Fox News screw up. I'm not interested in digging up videos of people dying, it's not something I've ever Google or YouTube searched for.
