RE: Warren Jeffs, it sure didn't take the media whores long |

to come up with another distraction du jour, did it. Sigh. And here I was hoping they'd actually cover something valid or important. Silly me.

This man is a serial child molester.
I am very thankful he was captured and you should be too.

5. OK, he got caught and that's good. But why |
|
do I have to be subjected to the same story ad nauseum for days/weeks? I still want to hear about the 9 soldiers who died this weekend in Iraq, though I don't recall anyone mentioning them. And I think 2 more have died in the past 24 hours, though I read about them on DU.

6. Definitely. This cult-leadin' creep has damaged HUNDREDS of lives. |
|
Not to mention the MILLION$ in taxpayer dollars he's scammed out of us. The world is a better place with him off the streets.
I only hope they can follow up with arrests of the rest of his cult, so that it doesn't simply continue with a different leader. There are plenty of "#2s" just as guilty as he is.

4. The capture of a vicious child molester isn't news? |
|
Look at your newspaper. There's sports, weather, metro news, etc. etc. Not everything is beat bush 24/7. It's not a conspiracy, it's legit news when a guy like that is captured. Finally.

7. True, the guy was on the FBI's 10 most wanted list |
|
As tragic as the JonBenet murder was, one child's murder is really local news material.
The capture of the FBI's number one fugitive is national news.

9. This arrest is important. No matter what we may want to be covered, |

other news, important news still goes on in the world, and the arrest of a man responsible for a cult engaged in rape, child abuse, statutory rape, tax evasion, welfare and other fraud is a big story.
Child molestation on this scale isn't silly, or a distraction.
The 24/7 cable news cycle does mean that every story, important, mundane or silly, does get repeated ad nauseum, and that is a problem.
