MSNBC is showing a documentary at 11pm tonight entitled "Nightmare on 31st Street" about the murders. I haven't read anything about it being made, shown, etc in the Richmond media. Why is this?
anonymous,
When I saw an item in the Richmond Times-Dispatch, which did alert its readers to the broadcast, I thought about posting a mention here at SLANTblog. Then, after thinking about it for a few minutes, I decided not to do that.
Having seen NBC’s Dateline segment on the Harvey murders and the manhunt/capture of the culprits, back in January, I figured this MSNBC piece would be using a lot of the same material with post-trial updates on the two now-convicted murders added on. As it turned out, that was exactly what it was.
While I wouldn’t call “Nightmare on 31st Street” a particularly sensational made-on-the-cheap TV documentary, certainly not in today’s context, I can’t say much good about it, either. In its style it mostly resembled other such television examinations of spectacular crimes in a way I find somewhat off-putting. However, when you knew the victims this sort of material plays differently, and it can be quite off-putting for some.
With my posts about the Harvey family at SLANTblog I have tried to use some editorial discretion with what I write and what I recommend. If you read some of my past posts in this series, you’ll get the picture. Thus, with that policy in mind, I chose not to promote MSNBC’s show.
