I detest the media's fascination with covering live, and in great detail, the rape and murder of pretty women (Inspiration for rant, current live coverage of the sentencing hearing, on ALL news channels, of Joseph Smith's penalty hearing).
They have been describing the torture and rape of a little girl in Florida for 45 minutes now, with a split screen showing her sweet picture while they describe everything this monster did to her.
This is perverted voyeurism pretending to be righteous outrage and I see right through it.
I'm damn tired of it. I'm sick because the media, and I presume a large segment of their audience, laps up this stuff... Carlie Brucia, Natalie Holloway, Laci Peterson, Jon Benet Ramsey.... on and on and on.
Covering these trials, and lapping up these details has become a major form of entertainment. Resist this temptation to pour over details too vile to show on regular TV. Immersing yourself in the real life rape, mutilation, and murder of pretty girls is NOT A HEALTHY FORM OF ENTERTAINMENT.

Not my job to keep you on your meds dear... I just post here. :~D

to be outraged: the description of the rape and torture of the florida girl didn't describe a single thing that she suffered thru, except that she was raped and murdered and buried alive by adults, and others adults had knowledge but did nothing and won't be prosecuted---in florida, you can't wear a seatbelt without being apprehended, but you can watch a girl be raped and murdered without consequence (and if we didn't watch the show, how would we even know that? they do offer information that is valuable)...anyway, thanks for finding my meds
