I have started to switch the TV to "Animal Planet" whenever the news programs bring on their "experts". I am tired of listening to these former so-called "profilers" or phorensic "experts" babble about their theories.

These "experts" are adept at bounching between Fox News and CNN programs - snake oil peddlers would have felt akin to these folks.

I'd rather watch the leemers snuggle up to one another rather than listen to the inane babblings of these "experts".

I haven't even watched Fox during the day now for about a week, I guess. I'm not going to sit and listen to some idiot insult my intelligence. I have the TV on with the sound muted (in case of breaking--real, breaking--news) and am thoroughly enjoying my CDs. At night, I mostly listen to conservative talk radio.

Me too--know what did it for me? FNC Alyson Camerota's info-segment yesterday of her awkwardly wielding an AR-15 at a local Firing Range...it's just a fill in for the absence of news and facts.

Yeah, everybody is an "expert". I'm surprosed thay haven't interviewed Tom Berringer, who played a sniper in a movie. Maybe the experts would work vigorously on the case rather than que up for interviews. Everybody has a theroy but nobody has any results.

Best put away the news cameras untill they have the suspect(s) in jail with a pile of evedence on top of them. Hell, no wonder they get fooled by fake witnesses. It becomes another chace to get on the news.

Me too, plus I'm tired of all the useless speculation. The host of a program will ask a question only the killer knows the answer to, such as: "So, what do you think the sniper had for breakfast." And the equally moronic "expert" will actually give some psychobabble answer! Anything to fill time and keep these high-ratings stories going. The formula was born during the OJ Simpson fiasco and has just been rolling along ever since.

Not a bad idea. Personally, I think our "experts" could learn a few things about dealing with "animals" by watching Crocodile Hunter."
