So, about those Facebook and blog comments left by staffers at the major networks looking to score interviews with Virgina Tech students — the closer to killer Cho Seung-Hui, the better? Top producers from at least two networks forced the unenviable job upon low-level staffers and, at least in one case, an intern, report insiders at ABC and MSNBC.

"There wasn't much discussion about [whether it was appropriate]," says a junior staffer at MSNBC. "Once it was suggested to go on Facebook and MySpace to get interviews, everyone was told to do it."

If you or someone you know was forced to troll the social networking sites for a network get, we have bloggers and interns standing by who would love to meet you.
