I didn’t mean the people were the same, I mean the appeal is the same.
I counted well over a hundred Casey Anthony articles posted recently on FR, with one having near 3000 replies.
Does that affect your opinion of FR?
Excellent observation.
I first really noticed this with the Chandra Levy case. The only thing that took that off the airwaves was 9/11/01.
How many threads about Libya and do any reach nearly 3000 replies?
Do you have a point?
Some people are fascinated with sports, they have to have every sports channel and watch as many games as they can find. So what. Not my cup of tea, but then I am not forced to watch it myself, so let them enjoy it.
Some people like reality shows. I hate them and think they are a waste, but they fascinate some people.
Some people are totally 24/7 involved in all politics. Fine, if you can stand the misery.
I suppose we could sit down and write an article about how people who watch sports all the time are miserable little people who have no lives and we need to make sure they know it, but then is it really our business what fascinates different people?
If a person isn’t interested in the Anthony case there are many other things to be interested in. I am sick of Obama. I turn off the TV when he shows his mug.
A bigger waste of time I can not imagine.
Actually, it has more to do with the incredible stupidity of people who are on juries today. They watch CSI Miami or CSI Idaho or CSI wherever and they demand DNA evidence. Or some kind of scientific expert to pop up and offer irrefutable proof the mother did it. We have jurors weaned on TV to the point, they expect real life to mirror the television shows they watch.
What is the facination?
For the Media: they don’t have to do stories on Gun Runner, and the ATF head going states evidence, or the bad jobless numbers.
For the Sheeple: They can pretend that everything is normal and go back to dancing in the Ballroom of the Titanic.
The Peoploe have to Freep...
You know which issue I consider to be more important.
Crazy people who have more time for this than to pay attention to how Obama is destroying this country.
Amazingly to the point and sadly so true.
This intellectual giant wrote a hit piece on the granny who watches the Casey Anthony trial and belittles her......and she writes tail for tale? TOO FUNNY! If you cannot appreciate it, I can. This author is chasing her own tail to be sure. That one misspelling made me laugh at her and her pompous stance. There has been very little to laugh about since this trial ended as we awaited the hoopla that will surely surround the release of this shallow young woman. Let me enjoy what humor I can find.
awaited=await....I KNEW that was coming. LOL
In early 2009, Rios married Bruce Rather, a Chicago-based lawyer.
Mind your own business, Sandy.
******
Ms. Sandy Rios, former President of Concerned Women for America, and a leading self-appointed protector of the sanctity of all marriages everywhere.
(Well, except for her own. As Tammy Wynette might have discretely intone, Sandy is D I V O R C E D.)
Apparently for some of us who FOLLOWED, we didn’t see every minute, the trial, we are kooks who aren’t able to multi-task well enough to also see that Obama is ruining the country. LOL
The fact we don’t spend 24/7 every day on Obama makes us bad Americans.
The outcome of this trial is relevant because the decision was made by Obama voters.
I guess some of the higher and mightier can’t walk and chew gum at the same time.
I think this highlights our legal system....which is indeed worth studying. Only a superficial wannabee intellect would chastise granny for following this trial. I am an unashamed viewer.......granted, I only logged in for the final weekend....but I have been busy getting up to speed since.
If I spent 24/7 on Obama and Washington, I would be so depressed I couldn’t get out of bed. SO, I look elsewhere for news and a world view.
Your points about understanding the Obama voter were dead on.
Marty, you said it all. Those of us who watched were mesmerized by the collapse of our society as shown by a small, crazy nuclear family, a vulgar lawyer and the disgusting viewers in the gallery.
You can read a hundred articles in the National Review and the Weekly Standard about the collapse of American values - but nothing brings it home like a live trial.
There was one totally unsung hero in this story: Ms. Drane-Burdock. Her professional demeanor and hard work was an inspiration.
