While I agree that the prank was childish and not at all inteligent, I don't see any difference with the reverence the prankster used vs MSNBC. Those media outlets reap the benefit of tragedy in the form of ratings all the time. If they had any sort of reverence for the situation, they would have vetted their source properly. But in this day and age, the expectation that any such outlet would properly vet its source, is cast aside at the expense of getting the story out first.
