There are a LOT of us here who DO care about the DUKE case... ..however, only MSNBC seems to cover it thoroughly and better than FOX.

You may find it interesting, but it's still not (or shouldn't be, because it is a local story with no national significance) national news, and it is a better "fit" for CourtTV than for a national news channel.

Maybe someone needs to start a Tabloid TV station for Natalee Holloway, the Duke Rape Case, etc.

Me too but it belongs on court TV and not on FNC. Unless there are truly new developments it's simply pointless to have panels of attorneys on discussing a case where all the facts are not known. For FNC to allot so much time guessing at hypotheticals is just plain silly and takes time away from vital subjects that affect all of us.

Whether or not there was a rape and whether or not one party is guilty or not simply doesn't affect my life. It might be interesting but it belongs on Court TV or crime shows or spike TV. The endless "alerts" that are not alerts are a joke and very tiresome.

I do think there is a need for tabloid TV, it seems there is an audience for all the movie star, murder, gossip, etc. I think when a murder occurs it may be news, when the killer is charged, that is news and the sentencing might also be news- but the rest is tabloid stuff and should not be hashed out nightly on the news for months.

I disagree Amelia...

The Duke case isn't just a local case that's unimportant to the rest of the country.

The railroading of these three young men can impact us all....

There's no evidence of this crime...and yet they are arrested, fingerprinted and indicted.

None of us are safe if Nifong & this stripper get away with this.
