Why is it that...

[Subdivisions]

they're talking about the death of a little girl, bless her, that died 10 years ago when the President of the United States was just found by a court dominated by his own party to be guilty of crimes against the Constitution of the United States of America.

Don't get me wrong, I feel for the death of that child as I would any child, and I feel for her parents who are, to this day, STILL suspects in the death of their daughter, despite breaking developments. CNN just did a timeline of the Ramsey case and 2 of the 3 points in their graphic was John and Patsy's perceived lack of cooperation at times with the fucking bozos charged with finding JB's killer. We know now that they were innocent.

OMG! OMG! Greg (somebody or other), the anchor on Faux, just said, "Is this a lunatic just confessing out of some crazy notion, or are the parents really responsible for Jon Benet's death?"

FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK!

THIS MEDIA BULLSHIT IS DRIVING ME STARK RAVING MAD!

Back to my OP...fuck.

Anyway, as I was saying, the illegal wiretapping of Americans by this administration is on a level EXPONENTIALLY worse than that that brought down Nixon and yet they're still talking about one of out thousands of murders that happen all the time.

Again, I say, FUCK!

2. 40 minutes on an Fox News hour show yesterday

http://www.newshounds.us/2006/08/17/john_karr_gets_15_minutes_of_fame_and_then_some_on_big_story.php#more

In total the show featured 7 FOX News Alerts!, 2 for the "suspicious containers" at Port Seattle and 1 for the flight diverted to Logan airport. The entire time devoted to the Ramsey case (40 minutes, no kidding), whether the images were of the Ramsey home, the parents, Jon Benet, or the analysts on the case ((Carol McKinley, Greta Van Susteren, Judge Andrew Napolitiano, and Lis Weihl), the top banner on the chyron was a red FOX NEWS ALERT.

3. Business as usual...

Slight of hand... "OHHH! Look at the shinny object. Isn't it interesting" The masses are asses! Until they recognize that they're being fed a gigantic shit sandwich this will all continue.

4. I'm expecting Articles of Impeachment to be issued from the House

Judiciary Committe any minute now....yep...any minute now......yep......zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

8. Now if someone would just give the guy a blow-job, we'd be in business...

5. I found it interesting

that the judges ruling only warranted a bottom scroll on CNN. Hmmmm......

[Subdivisions]

12. Arrrrrrrrrrrr ggggggggggggg hhhhhhhhhhhh! eom

[niyad]

6. may I remind you that an arrested suspect and a convicted murderer are

NOT the same thing? it's fascinating to me that so many DU'ers are talking as though the man has been tried and convicted already, doing essentially the same thing that happened to the ramseys.

and you KNOW why the coverage, of course--you answered it in your first sentence.

[Subdivisions]

9. You are absolutely

correct. I stand corrected. The man hasn't been convicted.

My point, however, stands. The media ran Nixon through a meat grinder. I watched every day from day one. Every last newspaper and network reporter was tearing Nixon the his administration to shreds, like piranha on a capibara.

It's fucking ridiculous.

7. you have to put it into perspective

more of "us" know the winners of American Idol than know who Tony Blair is. Shamefully, sadly, this is AMERIKA. la la la la la.
the tragedy of the child's death is less interesting than the particulars of the sexual assault. they are drooling for the details.
I'm thinkin it's truly best to walk away from the TV

FUCK!

[Subdivisions]

10. Ohhh...

I've been out of my mind around here all morning trying to get my clueless family to "get it". But you better bet goddamn sure they know who the winner of American Idol as well as who is the latest wrestling champion.

[knowbody0]

16. lately I've been wishing

I were really stupid.

[JRob]

11. ...or watch just to know what it is that they want you to think.

[Subdivisions]

13. OK, I gave them a chance

And the lead story this hour is STILL Jon Benet!

The President is a criminal worse than Nixon and the lead is still about Jon Benet!

14. I was at a library at lunchtime ... and they usually have CNN on ...

and I DID SEE - BREAKING NEWS - FED JUDGE RULES WIRETAPPING UNCONSTITUTIONAL ...

but, I'm sure it will soon be back to the missing/dead blonde white girl ...

[Subdivisions]

15. SOON HELL!

They gave the judicial ruling less than 60 SECONDS!

[zbdent]

17. I must have looked up at the right moment

[damntexdem]

18. But that little girl's death ten years ago is important, ...

unlike the deaths of tens of thousands in Iraq and Lebanon more recently.

Get ready: we're going to see many, many more diversionary stories (excuse me, stories that provide diversion) in the remaining months before the elections.
