And while they were DNA testing his wife and child's battered ,defiled remains, he was getting his hair bleached and golfing in San Diego and flipping LE the bird while riding around in a Mercedes with 10 grand and false ID! YEAH, THAT'S THE WAY TO GRIEVE!
Why doesn't anyone jump back at Janey or Lee with that when they come up with this crap??
Excellent post.
I am playing catch up having been gone for over a week, but just wanted to comment on this phenomenon, Jackie.
For the same reason dems get away with their outrageous lies, defense attorneys and their clients are presented via some in the media to their viewers and readers and granted an air of credibility: Certain members of the media actually ADMIRE overt deceit.
Remember during the clinton reign certain press types would openly marvel at the spin put out by the administration and the clintons, themselves. Same with criminals. I watched Menendez and OJ and was aghast as one made-up scenario after another was discussed and then the in-studio commentators didn't laugh at it---they actually would discuss how this could add up to "reasonable doubt" for certain jurors. They were right. (Thank goodness in Menendez it wasn't the whole jury and the non-televised retrial reached the correct guilty verdict.)
There is a certain segment of the population that wants to buy into spin and lies.
P.S. One of the worst reporters in the WH press briefings is Terry Moran. Before ABC hired him he was with Court TV and one of the most eager to take a defense line and run with it.
