Because tee vee advertising works. That's why scum like Nancy Grace remain employed. Tee vee people like her will have the innocent blood of a man on their hands after Tuesday mid-afternoon. Bugs don't lie, Westerfield is innocent. Pressure by tee vee media works and DAW will be convicted. The ONION had a satire of this. TRIAL by MEDIA. I think we have seen (in our time) a big case of this.
I also think it has happened time and time again, in the past, and is becoming a trend.
Watch for LIVE TRIALS on TV where YOU CALL IN THE VERDICT !
"Trial by Media"--yup, post #7 on this very thread. As Dread said, Onion imitates life.
