Vendettagainst Posted September 7, 2009 I've been wondering if anyone knows any site with Doomworld on CNN or GMA? I've been looking for it to see what happened on it. 0 Share this post Link to post
40oz Posted September 7, 2009 I don't remember doomworld ever being on tv. 0 Share this post Link to post
Vendettagainst Posted September 7, 2009 I've read places that "...Doomworld representatives appeared on CNN and Good Morning America after the Columbine massacre"... 0 Share this post Link to post
ArmouredBlood Posted September 7, 2009 Call the tv stations and see if they still have the footage if they recorded it, or it might be on youtube somewhere. I kind of doubt anyone would bother putting it up somewhere though. 0 Share this post Link to post
Ralphis Posted September 7, 2009 The covaro interview is floating around somewhere 0 Share this post Link to post

Maes Posted September 7, 2009 I have an old rig that can be used for browsing connected to a combined monitor/TV, but that's about as far as DW can ever get on TV for me. 0 Share this post Link to post
Lord_Z Posted September 7, 2009 Interesting, I never knew that had happened. I'll probably have a look around for a clip now. 0 Share this post Link to post
Nomad Posted September 7, 2009 I'm sure the news companies have archival footage of it somewhere. Might not hurt to ask them to release it, could be interesting. 0 Share this post Link to post
Sharessa Posted September 7, 2009 Poking around, I found that the original CNN article on it seems to have been deleted from their websites. I did, however discover that Doomworld has a fairly detailed Wikipedia article which does mention the CNN article at the end. I also found this San Francisco Chronicle article which quotes Ling. 0 Share this post Link to post
kristus Posted September 8, 2009 The guy that was on CNN was Javier "Dukrous" Heredia. http://doom.wikia.com/wiki/Javier_Heredia_(Dukrous) http://doom.wikia.com/wiki/Columbine_High_School_massacre 0 Share this post Link to post
Quasar Posted September 8, 2009 Pretty sure that Covaro was on television as well, because in my recollection he was given a hard time for not having a long eloquent speech prepared (he said about 3 words IIRC :P ) 0 Share this post Link to post

It was a question-and-answer session with kids after Columbine. I remember taping it, although I'm sure that tape is long gone. 0 Share this post Link to post
Vendettagainst Posted September 9, 2009 That's the problem - I can't find any archived footage anywhere and this looks pretty interesting. 0 Share this post Link to post
Quasar Posted September 11, 2017 Extremely long overdue followup. Relevant bit is at 52:54. 6 Share this post Link to post
Endless Posted September 11, 2017 What? In tv? Dont know if thats a good thing, but wow. Haha nice. 0 Share this post Link to post
Neurosis Posted September 11, 2017 Nah, they just introduced some guy as a "Doom Website Master" and Bill shook his head when the Doomfan said that we looked like bad guys back then. Remember when people found scapegoats for Columbine and blamed Marilyn Manson and DOOM? Pepperidge Farm remembers 1 Share this post Link to post
geo Posted September 12, 2017 (edited) I saw the GMA thing last year in a different thread. Good of GMA to have a "Doom website master" on since he fit the age demographic rather than say "official iD / Doom spokesperson." Everyone is in control of their own actions whether their minors or not. 0 Share this post Link to post
UglyStru Posted September 15, 2017 Can someone give some timestamps in regards to the Doom discussions? I don't have the time to dig through all that. 0 Share this post Link to post
