Oprah Pulls Columbine Show
This is interesting: Oprah yanked today's pre-taped show on Columbine. It was to have been about the tenth anniversary BUT Ms. O said this, on Oprah.com:
"I decided to pull the Columbine show today. After reviewing it, I thought it focused too much on the killers. Today, hold a thought for the Columbine community. This is a hard day for them."
I can't recall the last time O pulled a show and certainly can't recall over a reason like this, and begs the really truly OBVIOUS question: Why not just re-edit it, or pull-back on certain elements? My guess - the guests on hand (per AP, they were Columbine Task Force lead investigator Kate Battan, FBI special agent Dwayne Fuselier, author Dave Cullen and Columbine High School principal Frank DeAngelis) wanted to talk about the killers. Hard to edit THAT out.
You can imagine how Cullen - and his publisher - feel about this last-minute cancellation. His book on Columbine - well-reviewed in yesterday's Times - is out today...
An edition about a woman out of prison will air instead...
