A Suicide Gone Viral


http://www.slate.com/articles/technology/technology/2012/09/fox_news_car_chase_suicide_video_was_buzzfeed_wrong_to_post_it_on_youtube_.html

Will Oremus Slate staff writer, wrote an essay on September 28th informing the audience that Fox News committed  a mistake in airing a live suicide and how BuzzFeed decided to share it to the world on youtube after knowing what was being showed. He also explains how horrible it was for BuzzFeeds to re-post the video, just in case the audience didn't catch it the first time. He goes on to show some Twitter messages, showing how Fox News was really sorry for accidentally posting the suicide, and said "We really messed up." while BuzzFeeds immediately posted it on Youtube and got more then 1,00 likes. Oremus has a very sorry and terrified tone of voice when writing, he has a sorry voice as he talk about how sorry Fox News is but a terrified and horrified tone when talking about how outrageous BuzzFeeds posted the live suicide, as if to say "Wasn't id bad enough the first time?" Oremus ends his essay explaining once again how Fox News did not know that they would be airing a soon to be suicide, but in contract he says; in a very unpleasant and disappointed tone, that BuzzFeeds knew exactly what they were posting.

Oremus writes this article in a unpleasant and disappointed tone towards BuzzFeeds, for their unprofessional way of posting the live suicide video on youtube so that those who did not see the suicide the first time could see it. He also says in a very blissful tone of voice on how Fox News not only stopped the news immediately and went to commercials, but they also said sorry to all those who were watching. He shows a greater disappointment in BuzzFeeds and a respect for Fox News and showed how in the same situation, the difference in attitudes.
