I am now allergic to JT.

Jack Thompson stated that the Virginia Tech gunman played Counter-Strike on MSNBC's Hardball today, which would be fine if there was actually evidence. He said that the fact he was a school shooter and that he did it with such ease meant, without a shadow of a doubt, that he played Counter-Strike or some first-person shooter. Chris Matthews continually grilled him, retorting that Thompson had no concrete evidence at all. We all know this already, but he jumps to whatever conclusions he wants to support his claims, even if they are based on the most circumstantial proof. The killer's roommates have testified that they have seen the killer - an English major - type essays and plays on his laptop.

I am appalled that a national news channel would allow someone to throw allegations and claim them to be "forensic fact." Even worse, what kind of news channel only brings one person onto a "debate." Journalism centers around getting both sides of the issue. Every other kind of debate, by definition, involves at least two people. How can such blatant bias against video games be promoted? I suppose insanity is everywhere.
