Shows me what I know about pop culture...

lol.
or maybe a desperate act to get Weiner pushed to the background?
Theres a reason newspaper articles are called stories. Thats what they are most of the time. Stories. A reporter is nothing more that a storyteller when it comes right down to it. He has a limited number of facts to work with, and from those facts he must weave a tale that will hold the reader. Some of the facts the reporter has are accurate; some are not. But either way, the facts are not the story. The story lies in the inferences, the color, and the spin. These are what reports are paid for, and their job their sacred oath is to make the news pop. It has to sing. It has to thrill. Without all that, it isnt really news to anyone.
ever see the movie Idiocracy? I think we are living it.
That is scary.
You know....I can see (through my psychic ability) a future movie here. Some idiot will make three correct predictions for grandma....and then thinks he has the “power”...and spends an entire day predicting twenty different things. In the end...the last one will be the only one that’s correct with someone going off to jail...the psychic himself.
As for the cops involved in this...you have to imagine the next time they get a phone call like this....they won’t do much of anything.
Can’t believe the Sheriff and the Judge were STUPID enough to fall for this.
My guess is that when the police get a tip like this they suspect that the so-called psychic is actually someone involved in the crime (perhaps caught up in a sense of guilt) or has knowledge of it by other than psychic means, and simply is using the “i know this because i’m psychic” routine as a way of trying to protect themselves should their identity become known. Therefore i can see how they would feel compelled to check it out,
Good point. Thanks.
