Segment about Joe on Inside Edition tonight.

[NCarolinawoman]

This is a syndicated show that comes on at 7 pm where I live in North Carolina.

I was watching the noon news (kind of half listening in the background) and I believe they said this will be on tonight. Talked about Joe losing his first wife and child to a drunk driver. In the ad they flashed up a picture of Joe when his boys were little.

A lot of people get their "politics" through shows like this. I have read that Deborah Norville is a Democrat, so I bet this story will be positive....Of course we know Joe's bio, but many people, who might watch this show, but won't be necessarily watching the convention, might learn a little more about him.

1. Those clips of Joe with his boys in the hospital

are so moving. This man sincerely adores his children. You can't fake that. And to watch him with his grandchildren is such a joy.

2. You're right about some people getting their politics through shows like this.

Cool!

3. This thread makes it sound a little more curious than that -

4. Well darn.

It never dawned on me that something negative about Joe would be created from this tragedy.:mad:

I will definitely be watching to see what is going on.

5. I've heard him say it was rumored the driver was drunk but he never pursued it.

Who cares if it was a drunk driver, or even if it were Neilia's fault? Does that make it any less tragic?

:shrug:

10. I wrote them a not so nice note...

How low can you all get for some GD viewers??

Joe Biden's DEAD wife and CHILD?? I despise shit like you do, and only people with NO intelligence would sit and listen to the shit you put out there.

Scumbags. You must be fucking republicans. You have NO RIGHT to be talking about this AT ALL.

Totally disgusted.

11. Ok, follow this...

CBS owns King World, and they own Inside Edition..
(totally unrelated snip)
"The report, on health care organizations and their efforts to cut costs while executives get huge compensation packages, is not affected by the injunction, said Marc Rosenweig, the vice president for program production at King World, the company that owns "Inside Edition." But Mr. Rgsenweig said the company was appealing the decision because "it would be disturbing for all journalists if it does become a precedent."

14. LAMEST STUPIDEST %@&%&&$@

What was the meaning of this story?
:grr: :nuke: Trying to trivialize a tragedy! What individual or group was behind this?

I feel foolish that I thought it would be something nice for the Bidenites to see.

I think that the statement from the Biden campaign was excellent. I am only sorry that the Biden people even had to address this. x(

[jillan]

15. I am so happy that you let us know about this.

Hopefully we can get alot of voices together to tell them to shove it.
