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.

A few declarations.

Many Americans prefer entertainment news to real journalism
The article, "Sibel Edmonds: Senator Hillary Clinton: All Show and no Substance" show that in the face of having been informed that Americans or America has been wronged, our legislators and presidential administration will duck the issue and/or react to the facts as treason! A public that is not willing to ask questions when these events surface, that would prefer to continue with the status quo and remain fat, satisfied and ignorant, will never get a responsible press.
Government whistleblowers from many backgrounds and concerned journalists that expose government corruption and illegal activities, in an effort to keep an honest and transparent government, are under attack. The American people have been complicit in their own loss of freedoms and liberties by not holding their representatives accountable. A quote from Thomas Jefferson sums up this situation nicely, "If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be."

I don't imagine that even so called "middle America" has a lot of patience for this kind of crappola any more.
Keith Olberman laid it out rather plainly in his piece a few weeks back, "The Nexus of Politics and Terror" where he showed the very predictable pattern of terror plots coming after any bad news for the administration Neocons.
Of course, he's also getting great (web) play and better ratings with that elusive and nearly lost art, journalism. (Unless one checks out tremendous resources of the InterWeb, where journalism is taking all sorts of new forms.)
The clever Neocons are getting less effective every day. That makes it a good day for the rest of us...
