Sick of the Peterson and Kobe cases

[quinnox]

Am I the only one that has zero interest in these cases, and is tired of seeing them presented as important breaking news everytime there is a development? I don't understand why they are deemed so important by the likes of CNN and MSNBC, maybe they just have to fill air time?

3. what's strange is

I don't know ANYONE who even remotely gives a shit about KOBE/PETERSON.

4. what else is important?

its not like anything else is going on in the news. CIA leak, helicopter taken out, Iraq quagmire -- all of these are such old news. What people in the U.S. need to know more about is a murder in California and a basketball player in court. They need to show less foreign policy and more Robert Blake.

5. Me too!

That's why my tv stays on Sci-Fi or the Weather Channel.

8. I like the weather channel too

It's a good choice to have on in the background.

6. It is an Outrage

that these stories dominate the news. Yes, I am mad as hell about this.

7. I change the channel everytime they start talking about them.

I think it is laziness on the part of the newsmedia. Instead of creating a story by doing real investigative journalism, they are focusing on sensational criminal cases. It requires only calling in some talking heads to discuss these cases instead of the time and effort to investigate the Shrub administration.

9. you're not alone

I was never in the slightest interested and I don't know anyone who gives a hoot either.
