jesus effing christ can there BE anymore coverage on this shit? Good god almighty, they're trying to turn this into some kind of OJ Trial part II, only the OJ trial involved a famous person and was much more interesting. GET OFF MY TV SCOTT PETERSON AND AMBER "TRAILER TRASH" FRY!

 

[ShadowRed]

I hardly hear anything about it where I am. Every now and again a radio talk show do something about it, but it gets very little call ins. I take it you must be in Cali?

yeah but its mostly the national news networks (MSNBC, Fox news, CNN) that are coverign the shit out of it. i do live out here in cal though, so that could explain it.

 

[SlickWilly223]

No, no... I live in CT, and they're ramming this shit down my throat everyday.

I don't give a fuck about it.

I already know the outcome. Yes, in my opinion he murdered her, but he's going to be found not guilty.

 

[methodman]

I live right near where it occured, and god damnit every single night they have some stupid ass update on this bull shit case. We all know his faggot ass fucked his stupid trailor trash bitch, then killed his wife who was pregnant. Fucking Asshole. Get it off the T.V. already, and give this asshole what he deserves, a trip to get his ass ripped for the rest of his life.

 

[Brian Fellows]

Peterson what?

 

[Deleted member 1235]

We all know his faggot ass fucked his stupid trailor trash bitch

oxymoron.

 

[Willco]

Yeah, I live outside of Washington DC and they are like, "OJ II: NEW BLOOD!" on all their graphics and everything. I really don't care about this trial at all, the police fucked up and the only reason his ugly mug is on TV is because his wife is white and from upper middle class suburbia. Oh, the humanity! If this could happen to Laci, then this could happen to any mainstream caucasians with comfortable incomes! omg!

 

[way more]

I blame Fox News, every time I flip to that channel its bullshit about that or some other white kidnapped women. What is that networks fascination with sensationalist news?

Brilliant...

Never cared about this trial...why this of all trials has become the one for the media leeches to slap their nuts to is beyond me.

Gotta admit though...I'd hit Amber Frey.

 

[DarthWoo]

I was just wondering about something, and a search revealed this thread...

Who the hell IS Scott Peterson anyway? Why did this case become so newsworthy anyway? Was he famous beforehand or something? I could understand the O.J. trial being so televised, but I'd never even heard of this guy before all this.

 

[JoshuaJSlone]

A month or two ago I said something like "Did you hear the latest on Scott Peterson and Kobe Bryant? SO DID I, AND I DON'T CARE."

If I wanted to hear about this the channel would be CourTV, not CNN.

 

[Error Macro]

FIND THE SUNUVA BITCH GUILTY AND EXECUTE HIS ASS, I'M STILL BITTER ABOUT THE JUICE GETTING OFF

 

[Error Macro]

***NEWS ALERT *** AMBER FREY STARS IN EXPLICIT ADULT MATERIAL

Seriously, every time I see Amber Frey, I am reminded of Krystal Steal. There are some similarities there. That was the only safe picture I could find, though.

 

[Drensch]

It's sad she died and what not, but this is not a national story. Even crazier is the fact that
politicians are trying to get mileage out of her death with the bullshit" Lacy's law" crap.

 

[mj1108]

I live near Modesto where all of this took place..... so I feel like I've been living with it by either the news or by newspapers forever.

 

[ConfusingJazz]

I don't understand, are they people murdered and prosecuted everyday? Why the fuck should I care about this particular case? What news would come out of it? Its not like the murder happend because of a Russian spy mission gone wrong, is it? Does it even involve the mafia?

 

[Hitokage]

You see, the simple explaination for its coverage is that much of the mainstream media has mutated from the primary outlet of journalism in America into the primary provider of what some call "infotainment". Who gives a shit about cities cheating on water safety tests when something earth-shattering happens like Kelsey Grammer drunk driving.

 

[dog$]

Who gives a shit about cities cheating on water safety tests when something earth-shattering happens like Kelsey Grammer drunk driving.

Or when [insert activist group here] gives an F on their latest Report Card in assessing [insert government/education/health/political/popular institution here].

Oh and don't even get started on the dramatic weather reports.

OMG THERES HURRICANES IN FLORIDA DURING HURRICANE SEASON.
OMG TRAILOR PARKS ARE BEING RAVAGED BY TORNADOES.
OMG ITS SNOWING IN THE ENTIRE NORTH HALF OF THE US DURING WINTER.

 

[Cloudy]

but he's going to be found not guilty.

No way. Dude is gonna get the needle...

 

[KingGondo]

Yet another reason the US mass media has become worthless to me. It's become more about ratings and flashy graphics than actual stories: how the fuck does Laci Peterson get coverage over the tragedy in Sudan?
