Hopefully, you learn early in life ... that you don't walk into a dark room filled with gasoline fumes ... and light a match. It's a volatile situation.
Covering the story of two African American students videotaped repeatedly beating a Caucasian student on a bus ... was also a volatile situation.
I knew from the beginning that just telling the story was going to create strong emotions.
September 11, 2001. I'm sure you remember that date, but have the images faded ... even your shock, fear and anger ... eased?
Often, viewers tell me that we should be repeating the video of the planes crashing into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and what was left in field in Pennsylvania. They believe that it is a mistake not to broadcast those scenes.
