D E Alexander and 24/7 News Net Give New Meaning to Scum

I don’t often lose my temper but D.E. Alexander and his 24/7 News Net site brings new meaning to the word scum and lowlife. D.E. Alexander is allegedly an author and investigative journalist and 24/7 News Net is his alternative news site. Today, thanks to my close friend Gina, I learned that D.E. Alexander and his 24/7 News Net site is obviously happy to join the lines of human and media scum.

He has issued a press release of incredible poor taste – and I use the term press release very loosely – that is calling last night’s tragedy in Buffalo “The Friday the 13th Plane Crash”. D.E. Alexander then goes on to use the release as a reason to follow an alleged psychic who saw this happening. Funnily enough, the website of this *psychic* looks very similar to that of D.E. Alexander’s 24/7 News Net site – coincidence?

This is media and its lowest. This is nothing more than blatant capitalizing on tragedy for personal gain, notoriety, call it what you will. If D.E. Alexander thinks this is investigative journalism, he needs to think again.

If you look around D.E. Alexander’s site, you’ll see it has a Members Area where you can see “death pictures from the JFK assassination and Princess Diana.” This says all you need to know about 24/7 News Net and the *writer/journalist* that is D.E. Alexander.

It would appear that this may be a pseudonym, though, since going to Google brings up no results for D.E. Alexander. I wanted to contact him to ask about the release and his obvious lack of compassion and morality. No luck – and there’s no contact info on the 24/7 News Net website either.

There is some information about 24/7 News Net on WhoIs.net, that shows a registrant address in Philadelphia, with an admin address in Coral Springs, FL. Still, no contact number. Something to hide?

Tragedy happens all around us, as it did last night in Buffalo, and tragedy has to be reported. But using it in such an immoral and disgusting way – is there a place for that? Or is freedom of speech a given, regardless of how it’s used?
