"I was thinking -- 'chill out, Perry Mason'". This is another land and they will conduct their business the way they see fit. I know we have FBI down there assisting.. CHILL OUT already.
Everyone wants this solved like it was some episode of LAW & ORDER that's dragged on past 11 pm Eastern.. the fact is, it may go completely unsolved. Things like this do happen when you leave the country and we have very little wiggle room.
I applaud the media for keep the story alive, that's fine. But the wall to wall coverage, the grilling of officials by essentially "him-bo's" and the incessant desire on the part of Fox, MSNBC and all the others to be first (not necessarily 'right') is disturbing.
But, I can't fault the media for going wall to wall with this. They wouldn't be unless people were tuning in in droves..
Disagree. Three weeks with no comments other than "we have an investigation going" doesn't cut it anymore. Esp. with snafus like visiting JVDS' apratment nine days after the disappearnce.
3 weeks + no news = bad assumptions about the Polis, the Gov't and the players involved. Plus the Gov't spokespeople are minor league. One decided with FOX last nite not to talk about the latest murder (as if that's not news) because the Press is 'overly fixated on the Holloway story'. And his role is Polis Information Officer. Gimme a break
Thanks for the reality check. I think you may have seen Bill O'R grilling the Aruban. It was disgraceful, and it made me think that perhaps that's why some people are totally put off by our media and, in fact, Americans.
I think our media is doing a great job. Were it not for our media we wouldn't know how negligent the Arubian police have been. Without our media, I think this whole event would have been swept under the rug a LONG time ago. jmo
