Looks like I'm not alone re my thoughts on the alleged Cutts murders. Actually, I suspect Fox is pushing this story more than the public actually wants. It's impossible to follow the story while ignoring the details, that's likely why I click past the coverage whenever it comes on.
OK, His Majesty has decided that it’s time to piss off a lot of people, so why not go with it?
It could be worse. We could be stuck with wall-to-wall Paris Hilton.
I'm mildly pleased with all the attention on the Cutts murders because then national attention isn't on a twisted creeps in Wisconsin who tortured a boy and killed his mother.
But overall I'm sick of cable news covering the murder-of-the-moment. There is a war or two going on.

Holy crap. You're right. There is another war going on. Down in Afgani-whatchamacall it. With all the Towelbani and Osama Bin Whatisface. Why the heck were we in that country anyway?

Oh, hell, give it a rest. We've had all Iraq, all-the-time for several months, so it was getting tiresome as well, especially on CNN and its clones, where all I ever saw was negative coverage.
There are so many things the media could be doing other than covering the murder-of-the-moment, no doubt, but liberal reporters indoctrinated with the new ideology of news interpretation will hardly be able to find it, therefore you get Paris Hilton, etc., or all-Iraq-all-the-time. A dilemma, to be sure.

Very true, TK. I quit watching (except for Brit) about a month ago. I'll turn it on at noon to see if anything has happened, but tiresome is right.
It must be tough to be a 24 hour news channel. It would be nice if Fox did a report about the good things in Iraq. But 'good' is not news.
