at the risk of starting controversy

Published Jul. 23, 2008

... I just do not understand why WRAL is going to carry Nancy Cooper's funeral service. This just simply does not make any sense. What happened to her was terrible but it happens every time we turn around it seems. Just a few days later another woman was found dead in some woods near her vehicle. That story didn't seem to get near the same amount of press, but I know I am not the first person to notice that.

The bottom line is I do not understand what made anyone think this was necessary. A funeral is a time for friends and family to say goodbye to their loved ones, not a reality show.

Men will never learn. they are learning challenged... ALL OF THEM!

I think you meant to say rich skinny white chicks from Cary

"she was found alive - in bad shape, but alive.

The husband did it (figures)"

Oh yea I did hear about that, but didn't hear the part where that woman was the same one I was talking about. The husband never gets away with it, when will they learn?

I think its stupid too, she was a mom who was found murdered, okay how many times does this happen a month ? I lost a friend last week cause I had asked her the other day what she had done and she said she went to nancys memorial service and I was like what for >? you dont know her and you didnt help in the search, are you sure you werent there just to see those two little girls crying and to see if brad showed up ?

Well, that friend hasnt called me since,lol oh well , peoples facination with watching other peoples pain, sick

I hadn't heard that her services were going to be televised, but...what the F? How is this something that random strangers need to see or be involved with? Talk about tasteless.

Although, in WRAL's defense, they wouldn't be showing it if the public didn't have an appetite for it. Just look at the huge responses and wild speculation that's gone on ever since the beginning of this whole thing - people are obsessed with it and many have appointed themselves judge, jury, executioner, and chief mourner. It's pretty pathetic.

If they are televising the funeral, WRAL would have to have gotten permission from the family of the deceased - remember that.

I cannot determine ANY legitimate reason why a funeral for a private citizen should be "newsworthy." Any reasonable person should find it inappropriate for the grieving family and the mourners to be subjected to the instrusions of reporters at such a time.

It is funny (not ha ha) how one story gets covered while an identical (similar) one doesn't. For instance, the national news media was all over the tragedies in Camp Lejeune and the other 2 at Ft. Bragg but in Sunday's paper, I noticed a very small regional story about another female soldier missing from Ft. Bliss in Texas. I've not heard anything else about that case.

The lady at the Day Care center committed suicide because she was addicted to pain killers. The news and observer has the story. Not quite the story to make headlines.
