Why are people and the media more outraged about Karr than Iraq?
"All the taxpayer money used to bring him to the states..." "Bringing him back here with no more evidence..."

Bullcrap!! These people are not as outraged about the billions of taxpayer dollars spent on a war for less reason than the DA had to bring Karr back to the states. Just more diversions from what is really important.

11. an obvious ploy by News producers to fabricate 'outrage' as further
distraction from the real outrage in IRAQ.

They want to cover anything but INCLUDING polygamists--Most Wanted My A$$

2. Distraction
with Karr they can blame some one else.

With Iraq they would have to also blame themselves.

3. Generally speaking
people understand pennies and the number one or two. If you're gonna steal successfully steal big. Kill successfully = kill thousands, preferably for God.

5. Ain't that the truth.

And I wonder if Nancy Grace will apologize for saying she didn't care if he was set on fire by his mother when he was two.

No, I don't wonder. She won't.

4. Because people are FUCKING STUPID
I've been purposely avoiding every show whenever they started talking about this nonsense. I changed the channel right away. Perhaps if everybody sent a fucking message that we will NOT WATCH this shit, they'll stop showing it.

6. Thank you.
First of all, it doesn't take a genius to figure out that Karr was unlikely to have been the killer. Red flags were everywhere, and the sorry ass media didn't even pick up on it because they wanted to tout their child killer. Disgusting!

7. They were shocked...SHOCKED that he married a 13 year old.
Yet they didn't seem to dwell on the fact that there was a state that let you MARRY A 13 YEAR OLD!

8. This Country Is Filled With MORONS!
That is why we're screwed no matter what. The vast majority of people in this country are MORONS. That is fact.

10. The corporate media is paid to project the opinions they project
"Regular people" act that way because just they react to the corporate media, the same way a dog answers to it's master's voice...

14. The US Corp Media has a bottom line.
$$$$. Sensationalism generates viewership. More viewers for the Corp. Adverts, hence mo $$ for the Corp Media and their stockholders. It aint rocket science.

15. Because it's new news
Iraq, alas, is old news. That's the nature of the beast. People want novelty and change; ever try writing an article about political corruption? It's all been said, and unless you can get scantily clad women or gay congressmen into the act, no one pays attention.

It's just life, not some big conspiracy.

What they should be outraged about is falling for the story in the first place. It was obvious he was a loon, his ex-wife gave him an alibi...it never added up. But they just can't resist.
