So Scott Peterson's death sentence takes precedence over vote fraud. |
|
something is very wrong with this picture. What will the Bush administration do once the Peterson trial and sentencing is finally over? What will the media do? What will they use to divert attention from the issues that really concern American life?

Other men kill their wives... sometimes wives even kill their husbands and their children. The media will always have a Peterson case to discuss.
The only thing that will make a difference is if the American people collectively turn them off. NO viewers = no advertising = death.

14. Yahoo news has a line about Kobe accusing |
|
Malone of hitting on his wife.
I couldn't bring myself to read the article though.
Gag--as if there is nothing more important to report.

and how much coverage appeared on the horrendous 7 marines killed? There are more celebrities to go so they (corporate media) will find something or even create something to take away the attention of the public

8. Up next at bat....BLAKE, Robert BLAKE..... |
|
Batting third, JACKSON....Michael Jackson.
And our cleanup hitter out here at the park this afternoon is.....???
That Trimspa gal, Anna Nicole Smith? Those fighting basketball players? The Oscars--gotta be a scandal or two there, there always is...and we have Passion of the Christ AND F-911 up for awards, thus, there's plenty of carping to be had over that.
These guys are EXPERTS at distraction. They'll find some red flag to wave before the mesmerized bulls parked in front of the TV screens. It's what they do...!

11. Trial of the 21st Century End of January. |
|
Michael Jackson. You might as well skip 2005 for any meaningful news coverage.
Hopefully, there will be no cameras in the courtroom.

15. DAMN IT.. She was a very pretty young pregnant woman!!! |
|
Everyone knows that the death of ONE PRETTY woman/girl takes complete precedence in media..
Did you not get the memo???
Hundreds of "journalists climbing all over each other to get the "perfect photo...or soundbyte" is the MOST important thing on the news"
Until
They trot "Jacko-the Wacko" out for another stroll, or until poor ole Robert Blake, the has-been nutcase is foisted upon us..
Election fraud??
That would require some homewrok.. they are not interested
