Student Government Asks Reporters to Leave by Monday

Virginia Tech students are showing more good judgment and sense than much of the media coverage of last week’s shooting, and have asked the MSM to pack up and get out of Dodge…well, Blacksburg.

You’ve seen the news coverage from Blacksburg, complete with prominent network anchors reporting from the scene. And now, the student government at Virginia Tech is asking for all of that to end. It’s calling on hundreds of reporters to leave campus by Monday morning, when students are supposed to return to classes. A spokeswoman for the student government says the campus appreciates the reporting on the story, but that students are ready to move forward.

Good for them!
