Robert Blake's murder trial begins tomorrow, will coverage of the
trial overshadow or trump the voter fraud issues?

I heard the trial begins tomorrow. How much you want to bet it is all we hear about. :shrug:

:cry: I pray I am wrong, but you know the MSM.

1. Boy I hope so, because he was SO famous!
Not.

I'm so glad I've not watched any news since the election. My irritation level is way down.

3. What is so funny is that the radio report said that they had no
problem selecting a jury. Most of the potential jurors had not heard of the case, or if they had, they didn't remember any of the coverage or details because the murder was 3 years ago. The attention span of the pubic is so damned scary.

But don't fret, it will be headlines again!

10. Thanks for the update - but then we have Michael's
case coming up in a few weeks don't we?

The mystery of the stolen computer -- coincidence or . . .

2. No way...
The fraud issue is getting more coverage by the minute.

Only FOX will be on the "Blake bubble."

7. JEEZ they sure have their timing down, don't they?
Edited on Mon Dec-06-04 03:03 AM by Carolab
First we get SCOTT PETERSON ad infinitum and now THIS.

How many times have we been bamboozled in the past by TV crap like this when something really important was going on that the news should have been covering?

HOW DO WE COMPETE??? I don't agree with KO on this. ELECTION FRAUD is plenty "sexy" enough for the MSM. They are BEING GAGGED BY THIS ADMINISTRATION.

11. I don't think this will be like the Peterson trial
Neither Robert Blake nor his wife were cute and cuddly like Laci and Scott, and since it's all about ratings and not news anyway, I bet all you see is just snippets here and there.

12. Peterson trial probably will...
Jury deliberations for the penalty phase starts Wednesday, supposedly, so THAT will take up 23hrs and 55 minutes of the 24 hr cable news channel time and then linger for the rest of the week.
