THIS ISN'T NEWS.. just plain and simple explotation of someone who is suffering.. how pathetic CBS NEWS has become..

This is not news. Climbing is a risky hobby. One should know before they climb what the probabilities are. If you aren't prepared for everything and anything then you suffer the consequences. Soldiers fighting a war deserve 10 minutes of coverage - not this story. Starving children deserve that coverage - not this story. The media is getting ridiculous. I don't usually watch your show, it just happened to be on and now its off.

I was offended by the long interview with Ms. James. She has a very sad, tragic story, and a wonderful spirit to get through this. But I'm afraid that many people lose a spouse everyday, and their stories are just as sad. And some of those people lost a spouse in Iraq, in service of all of us, not just climbing a mountain for their recreation.

Those stories are just as important as this one, but of course they can't all occupy 10 minutes of the Evening News. This story should not have either. CBS Evening News, formerly the home of real news, has clearly lost its way. I won't waste my time with it again.

With all due respect, that was the strangest and most bizarre interview I have ever seen. I am not a prude but it just didnt seem appropriate.
