Desperate? Wrong word. Getting publicity is a normal part of this type of case. SOP. Standard operating procedure.
Tell me though — if they taze Lakin, restrain him and toss him in the van, do you think CNN would cover it?
And then if they busted his head and a few ribs, would CNN cover it then?
Or maybe if they tossed him out of the van and ran back and forth over him a few times — would CNN cover it?
I’m not sure how CNN could touch any part of this story, no matter how peripherally, without venturing too close to the birth certificate/natural born citizen/Constitutional ineligibility event horizon.
Nifong II?
They would if he was black and he was protesting George Dubya Bush or Sarah Palin.
I am sick of the JournOlist co-conspirators.
