I don't know if you're talking about the same segment I saw last night (didn't catch the whole show), but on this one, both he and Jane Hall agreed that you can't trust anything the media reports. They concentrated on the lack of proof for these stories, but I would have also gone more into the fake photos and made up articles angle--they did touch on these SLIGHTLY, but an entire hour could be devoted to the unreliability of media reports.
On this case alone:
1. Wednesday evening it was said the dna tests had already been done and proved Karr did it.
** By yesterday, they were saying there was no dna testing and no results at all.
2. Yesterday it was reported that Karr said he'd picked her up at school, and drugged her.
** Today, they are saying HE didn't say this at all, but the Thai police said it, thinking they were reporting known events--and of course at least the drugging didn't happen at all as per the autopsy, so they made it up.
I could add several other "changes" to this story, but you get the idea.
Until there's a trial (well, IF there's a trial), we're not going to be able to trust much that comes out. MSM is too lazy or arrogant to research the facts, and they don't seem to do any fact checking beyond getting the name right. (Sometimes they even fail on that!)
Couldn't agree more - didn't know all the details you supplied but agree totally with the conclusions.
Ok the segment you saw was after BOR's "Talking Points" editorial which came at the beginning of the show.
But the basic idea was that this whole trend was extremely "dangerous" - his word. With the internet and cable news etc. etc. the world has become one giant rumor mill. If you stand back and look at this phenomenon that can't be a good thing. I think Bernnard Goldberg also said that journalists have become "stenographers" - somebody says something they write it down and go with it. The whole thing just seems like it can't be good.
Exactly! Lazy and inept to describe the media analyst come to mind.
After all, he left a ransom note as "hard evidence" which proves that he didn't intend to kill her. Yeh, right!!
He was VERY careful to say out loud that
1. "It was an accident"
It was "2nd degree murder" because it was an accident.
