How Many Wasted Media Hours? Karr DNA Doesn't Match Jon-Benet Evidence

The pseudo-news media-- CNN, MSNBC, FAUX, just spent the past week plus totally wasting the airwaves on dozens, if not hundreds of hours of speculation and tripe-- covering a ten year old murder-- when they could have been doing their jobs. Now, how many more wasted hours will they spend, exploring what the meaning of this is.

Heads should roll in news rooms for making the decisions to give this garbage as much attention as has been given.


It will be amazing to see whether any of the members of congress or watchers of the mainstream media, who are in the mainstream media will actually issue a word of criticism.

Imagine what could have occupied that time. But of course, the new NEWS, from the mainstream media comes on the cheap, and taking video feeds from Thailand, or California, or a passenger's video camera is doing news on the cheap.

America deserves better. The mainstream media better get their acts together. People are getting more disgusted with the pathetic job they are doing. Suits, fancy graphics, branding of major news stories-- these don't hold a candle to real journalism, which is getting harder and harder to find.
