If there are riots I hope someone can find a way to hold the press responsible for damages.
I wouldn’t go that far. Headline News runs a crap show on the trial every night. They have a little mock-up of the scene, a bigger fake jury than they need, a half dozen murder attorneys shouting over each other, the whole works. The finale every day is a “jury” vote on whatever “the big question” of the day was, and a vote by the attorneys on whether it was a better day for the prosecution or the defense.
I usually flip right past it, but last night I decided to give it a shot. They showed a tally of the attorneys’ votes throughout the trial — they have found more often than not that the prosecution “won” the day, which as we all know isn’t remotely possible. And last night’s “jury” voted 10-2 that it was *not* George screaming.
So put Headline News down as still wanting to find George guilty. I think it’s ideology-driven bias for a number of reasons — the usual lies are STILL repeated virtually daily on HLN as they show every picture of 12-year-old TM, for example. But it might be as simple as knowing that any operation that employs Nancy Grace as a guiding light on court cases cannot possibly be interested in giving a suspect fair treatment.
