I have said over and over that the media is way, way out of bounds on most cases. Those talking heads are truly shamelessly running to the bank without a care in the world of who they hurt or may hurt while in transit.

Get your fair and balanced tabloid here - Fox News!

I admit. I really like Greta's show and I like following media coverage of interesting cases. But I want it fair. I like to get facts and try to figure it out the best I can. That's probably one of the reasons I like Greta's show. But when I see the case tried in the media so that defendants will probably never get a fair trial, then I have to re-assess. Fox is getting awful.

I agree completely. I think if you know the events and have at least a basic knowledge of what goes on, you've even more upset when you hear the spin.

We lived in Greensboro back in the late 70s when the Klan had their shot out; it was a bunch of good old boys versus the Communist Workers Party (headquartered in -- tada -- Durham).

By the time it hit the CBS News that night, we got calls from all over the country, wondering if we were all in the streets (in sheets) with guns killing each other. It was amazing.
