erin andrews peephole tape

erin andrews peephole tape

Obviously folks have noticed that the "mainstream media" (as always, an outdated term, but necessary for this purpose) is showing the Erin Andrews peephole video. CBS did it a few days ago -- which we discussed with Newsday's Neil Best today -- in poor fashion. And then last night, Bill O'Reilly, conservative independent gentleman of leisure, decided to air the tape on his show so he could talk about people using the video to spread a computer virus. Of course he did.



The best part about this video, of course, is that it's the second example in the past week of a MAJOR NETWORK airing the video in order to "generate a buzz." A.k.a. "exactly what the blogosphere DIDN'T do with this video."

Look, it's tough enough to stomach the idea that creepjobs are walking around America filming people through peepholes in hotel rooms without having to see it exploited by people in the media; can't we all just stop talking about it altogether?
