The media didn't kill him. They made his life a living hell.

Brian Williams mentioned Jewell’s death on Nightly Nooze last night but skipped the fact that NBC has smeared him. Typical.

I can still see the picture of him in my mind, forlornly sitting on the stairs of his apartment complex, head buried in his hands, while the FBI ransacked his apartment where he lived with his mother. I could tell at that moment he was not guilty of anything..................

We had a similar situation here in Florida when those University of Florida students were murdered in Gainesville several years ago. The press latched on to some poor soul who, as I recall, lived with his grandmother over near the East Coast. They had him tried and convicted in no time at all. Imagine their surprise when the killer turned out to be some else!

I always felt badly for Richard Jewell.

Richard Jewell, RIP

Indeed.

Allah Forbid.

R. I. P.

A case of an MSM feeding frenzy around one of the few unprotected groups remaining in the USA. $500,000 was no where near enough to compensate, let alone any real punitive action against NBC.

Agreed.

Some would be amazed at how much stress can affect diabetes. The more stressed I get, the more my blood sugar goes out of control.

Jewell was actually lucky some headline-grabbing prosecutor didn’t railroad him to prison for the rest of his life.

Point well taken. Had Jewell lived near Mike Nifong, eg, his life could have been far, far worse.

Wanted to be sure you guys saw this. The power of the media to destroy a life, if anything, has grown since 1996.

[lilycicero]

Truly sad.

[smoothsailing]

These little girly-men in the media who claim moral superiority over our land have been at it for a long time.

The power of the media to destroy a life, if anything, has grown since 1996.

Far longer than that, dear FRiend. Have you ever read Slander by Ann Coulter, or her later book, Treason?

I highly recommend them to be read in that order.

We face an enemy without, a determined foe, who will kill us all, given the chance.

That we can deal with, but only if we remain resolute.

A much more insidious enemy is the one within, the old media, the leftists among us in not just media, but elected office, academia, etc. These are the aiders and abettors, the sedition and treason lobby that infect our land.

Until we figure out how to overcome this Fifth Column, our liberty and freedom will remain in peril.

Yes, the media is quite powerful. They finally memorialized him as a hero. Two nice things to remember about Richard Jewell before he leaves the public conscience.....

"Each anniversary of the 1996 Olympic bombing, Richard Jewell would slip away, usually at night when no one was looking, to place a rose and a card where spectator Alice Hawthorne was killed."...Richard Jewell is memorialized a hero

On July 4, 2001 Richard Jewell was the Grand Marshall for a July 4th parade in Carmel, Indiana. The theme of the parade was "Unsung Heroes".

[RedRover]

Thanks for that, Girl.
