I gotta say that this is one of the best interviews, if not the best we’ve done on Radio Go Daddy. New York Times Bestselling author, Dave Cullen pulls the curtain back on all the myths and misconceptions about the Columbine shooters. Wild stuff.
When Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold slaughtered 13 people and then themselves at Columbine High School, the media helped create an image of the killers as reclusive outcasts who snapped after years of bullying. Not true, says Dave Cullen, author of NYT Bestseller “Columbine,” who’s on a mission to set the record straight about the tragedy. There was, he tells Bob in a jaw-dropping interview, no “Trench Coat Mafia,” and the perpetrators were coldblooded, calculating killers determined to murder hundreds of random students and school personnel. And on the Internet Files, the esteemed panelists discuss how Microsoft’s new Visual Search service will work for X-rated material, while Bob finds the positive in Denmark’s embarrassingly ill-advised tourism ad.
