1. there is a guest saying that the 'public demands this story"

[rodeodance]

3. saying that if reporters do not want to do story then it demands creativit

y--the reporter can turn the story into something that others have not asked.

[Missy M]

7. I go out in public and I have not heard of one person demanding..

this story. I think we have already heard it over and over and over and over.

[annabanana]

2. heh... are they calling him a terrorist yet?

or just a cold, unfeeling monster?

[rodeodance]

4. no, but they were pretty rough on him.

[KaryninMiami]

5. Can you fill me in on the Costa story? I have been away from my computer.

I am actually in Aruba now- working with their toursim board and would like to fill them in on what happened with this. Thanks!

[burythehatchet]

9. he was filling in for Larry King and when he learned what the topic

was, he refused. He offered other ideas but they were declined.

Say Hi to Greta for me, and them punch her in the face.

[Evergreen Emerald]

10. hahahaha

bury the hatchet where?

[burythehatchet]

12. depends on position

the sternum if you are facing a neo-nazi, for example.

6. and yet

when the prime minister of aruba meets with natalie holloway's mother, it's "the BIG story" on faux.

just a little cindy sheehan irony, don'cha think?

[bananas]

11. maybe Cindy should meet with Natalee's mother?

[Cha]

17. That's a Freakin' Good

Idea! Maybe fauxfuckin'sux would see Cindy in a Whole New Light?!!

Ya Think?

[Old and In the Way]

8. A story that affects 0.00001% of the population directly

Right. The public isn't demanding it, the administration is. Anything irrelevant to keep the public from asking questions about the issues that effect all of us.

This is pure Pravda....

[highplainsdem]

13. Exactly.

I'm sorry the girl's missing, and I really feel for her family -- but there are so many other people who are missing whose stories don't get national attention, and the hyping of this particular story by the media is clearly an attempt to fill up air time and manufacture news. (And of course it helps if it allows talking heads posing as journalists to spend time in Aruba.)

The FAUX News attack on Costas was inevitable, really. He was like the child pointing out the emperor has no clothes. Most people would agree with him, especially once it's pointed it, but the faux journalists, whether or not they're on FAUX news, don't dare.

[rodeodance]

14. foxies were saying that Costa came across like "it's not my cup of tea"--

then foxies got all pompus saying we do not like all stories either. but we do them.

[quaoar]

15. This story gets less coverage from local Birmingham media

than it does on Fox and CNN.

[Bosso 63]

16. Fox is just selling a product

The crap they put out is just a way to get a share of the market. Right now they feel the need to defend their product line. But once the "product" stops selling, they will move on to some thing else.

[OneTwentyoNine]

18. As if FOX gives a DAMN about Hollaway other than a distraction from Bush..

Kudo's to Costas for ignoring the story,its been WELL reported now for almost 90 Freakin days. What the hell could Costas add to it anyway?
