DAMN!!!! Peterson verdict to be read at 4:30 EST!
Just in time to ruin any coverage of the election fraud! This is all we will hear about for the next 5 days! Peterson, Peterson, Peterson, Peterson, Peterson, Peterson, Peterson. :grr: Fuck. It never fails. If it's not Michael Jackson, it's Koby Bryant or Scott Peterson who preempt any coverage of the shit this administartion is involved in. :grr:

9. Or in a microwave..
Was watching a cable film about serial killer Ted Bundy and they used actual footage of some of the folks outside the prison on execution day...carried signs like 'It's Fryday, Ted', 'I like my Ted well-done', and 'Rose are red, violets are blue, good morning Ted, we're gonna kill you'...

:evilgrin:

5. I knew it!
I was sitting here going.. I just betcha peterson's jury is coming back today.. just to take all of the coverage away from the OH.

I hate MSM, been nothing but neglectful of their duty in covering this. Cowards.

Frankly I don't care what they do with peterson, unless he's wiping Roadblock Blackwell's ass in prison. I just don't care

23. Damn those jurors!
I wonder how they got to all 12 of them in order for them to deliver this verdict at this critical moment? No doubt this has been planned since jury selection back in June. Or worse...do you think this may have been Peterson's motive in killing his wife. Wow, these bastards will stop at nothing..

8. The reading of the Blackwell verdict
will make up for it all. But we will probably have to wait for a year or more for that. I can be patient.

10. "This is all we will hear about for the next 5 days"
Peterson is all we've heard about since the election. Did you expect the corporate news to show the voting fraud as "Breaking News" or given as much attention as the Ukraine?

15. Of course I didn't expect vote fraud breaking news, but
at least SOME of the networks are starting to cover it. Now, Forget it! They will be completely immersed in this bullshit. Woodruff was suppose to be covering the election fraud today and now she will probably be talking about Peterson instead. :cry:

45. It's not worth getting upset over
changing the corruption within the corporate media isn't going to happen anytime soon. I have no doubt that the end result from Conyor's hearings and the other doing investigations into voting fraud will make our system fool proof, scrutinized and standardized. When that happens we will get back many of the seats that were stolen from us. We are and always have been the majority.

28. The 'timing' of this is just too curious. Okay, what are the odds...
that this long-running case just happens to settle on the very day of the contested Electoral Votes, the filing of the Election Fraud case, and televised hearings on CSPAN?

Coincidence? Uhmmmmm....

47. It might be out of the headlines
but from the legal end they just can't sweep it under the rug. As this plays out we will hear of more detailed info on how they rigged the election. Take a step back and look at how things progressed since Nov.2. People like Blackwell, the media and the repuke party have been fighting to keep this story quiet. Slowly but surely it has been gaining momentum.

14. That's lousy timing, for sure...
...but C-Span should still have the tape on at 4:30, I would guess. I don't think the Peterson verdict would pre-empt everything on C-Span, do you?

18. No, it won't preempt C-SPAN, but the MSM
will now spend every waking moment on the Peterson story. It's all we will hear about for days on end. :grr:

20. No, but it will detract from C-Span
who gives a shit about Scott Peterson? This is ALL deliberate distraction. What a bunch of sick freaks using a murder to keep the "murcans" so-called minds off of the REAL business at hand.

19. Email CNN and Tell Them they Aren't Fooling Anybody
livetoday@cnn.com

The coverage of the Petersen trial is beyond belief. It is perhaps the most obvious example in my lifetime of an insignificant story being blown up in order to distract from major stories like the carnage in Iraq and the theft of the election. It is like crack cocaine for the masses. Simply amazing!

29. I think this is good.
Let the verdict be read and let the 'news' networks go gaga covering the whole thing. I think this works to our advantage.

The news today was really good...but most of it is simply the starting gun on a long race. The Conyers hearings, the Kerry letter, the lawsuit...all of them will take at least a few days to bear fruit. Now that the (Heinz) ketchup is out of the bottle, it isn't going to go back in. There will have to be investigations into these allegations. The judge will have to rule on the lawsuit. The BOE's will respond to the letter.

The Peterson verdict means the right wing spin doctors won't have free reign at spinning our news tonight. If the media is talking about Scott and poor Laci and the baby, they won't be telling the public that we are simply poor losers who can't face reality. By time they finish with the Peterson voyeurism, we will have some positive outcomes from today's events and we will be in a much better position to counter their spin.

Look at the bright side, folks.

34. If the media treated the Peterson case like the Fraud issue...
...they would all be saying, "Oh, for gosh sakes! The poor woman is dead and gone, and nothing can bring her back. It's time to just get over it and move on."

36. 2nd Coming of Jesus
Flipping between the big three cable news stations, CNN, MSNBC and FOX one would think they are watching the same network. All have been exclusively fixated on Scott Petersen this afternoon. It is beyond words to describe the idiocy that is spewing forth as legions of reporters minutely cover every conceivable angle of the murder and trial. I do believe that if Jesus were to make his much heralded 2nd coming today, he might get a mention at the end of the hour. God help him if he objected to C+ Augustus upon landing!

Let the Infotainment Cartel blow their wad with the Scott Peterson trial. This snowball is starting down the mountain... It just needs to pick up some more steam and become a full blown avalanche..
