Scott Peterson not only murdered his wife, he got me to watch MSNBC and CNN.

Everytime somebody on Fox News starts talking about this case, I switch to other news. When the other channel starts talking about it, I switch again.

Guys kill their wives every friggin' day in this country, but I don't hear about it. I still haven't figured out why this guy killing his wife is supposed to be so important to me.

[Constitution Day]

My feelings exactly!

he got me to watch MSNBC and CNN.

Now that's a criming shame......

Whoreraldo is trying to put the OJ and Bill 'Zip' Clinton spin on the Petterson case and it is a overkill for sure. But you do know that he overdoes it on eveything he does. Rita Crosby is getting just as bad.

I do the same but limit my switching to MSNBC. CNN is too radical...

[PhiKapMom]

Agree with you in total. In fact, I have been watching baseball instead of the news channels for the most part.

[Texaggie79]

Friggin EXACTLY!!! Pregnant women don't get murdered? Men never kill their wives? WTF? I bet I could find a hundred similar cases around the US. What makes the Peterson's so special? STFU media!

[Gritty]

This is exactly what I do. These pundits are just trying to resurrect the Glory Days of the O.J. case, where they got to blab on 24 hours a day with their bloated opinions.

Not only do I always turn Whorealdo off when he shows up, but also that awful Greta. I can't stand her, nor most of her CNN retread guests. She can't even talk. Surely FOX could and should do better! Even big-head O'Reilly is getting to me.

In the meantime, I'll watch Scarborough Country or a movie. I'm outta there!

I still haven't figured out why this guy killing his wife is supposed to be so important to me.

The same reason that the annual overloaded ferry story in the Philipenes and the annual flood deaths in Bangladesh are important to you.

Well, with all due respect, Dead, the media doesn't care what is important to you...only what is important to THEM.

This is an issue about being "FIRST". The first to broadcast that Mr. Peterson "has confessed", or has been "found guilty".

It's the almighty "SCOOP" mentality in the press. Hundreds of news outlets all clammering to be the first to broadcast the hot news. When actually, none of us out here in listener/viewer land give a damn who was first, we want to know who was ACCURATE.

My experience in the media has shown that the media in an intermural game, and all they really care about is...each other. Who beats who, who gets the Pulitizer, etc. It's like the Academy Awards...a profession who takes up several hours of prime time each year to congratulate and thank each other.

It's been my experience that most of the movies that win all the awards, suck. They're like watching paint dry. But the movie industry - a mutual admiration society - feels they must do what they do.

I will paraphrase a Rush saying, and apply it to the media..."Follow the Pulitizer".

Same here. I have even reverted to A&E for fantasy. I will not watch a moment of the scabpicking that is the Laci Peterson story.

[Calvin Locke]

Jeez, and I thought I was the only one. Personally, I was sick of hearing about "Laci" and her unborn child before the friggin' war.

After the war, and the arrest of Peterson, I made a snide comment about how all the publicity was tainting the jury
pool, and all threads about the subject should cease, in the interest of fairness and justice.

I got a terse response "then don't read..." and I responded with a Blatherism on how hard it is not to click on a "Laci" thread.

I was willing even to watch part of Greta until she started up with this "Laci" feces again.

Geraldo is a disgrace to FNC. Now he's pimping for the defense? Pound the law and/or pound the facts.

[maxwellp]

I believe that the attention focused on this case is because Laci and Scott are two very attractive people. And Connor is raising some very important issues regarding abortion.

[pgkdan]

Me too!!!!!!!! Every time I hear the words Laci Peterson or Scott Peterson I hit the remote. It's a terrible shame that the poor girl was murdered the way she was, but geez...this is a local story for Modesto CA. I'm sick to death of hearing about it.
