Edit: When I answered " No it won't " I meant it won't be fun because it's being hashed in the other thread I mentioned. I just wanted to clarify that so people don't think I think it won't be solved which when I think about it I don't think it will be solved.... ever.

And everywhere else, although I would like to see the killer come to justice I really despise the media where this is concerened. Nothng but a bunch of vultures.

TV News Vultures Circling JonBenet's Corpse -- Again (28 comments )
READ MORE: 9/11, Iraq, Indictments, Fox News, Lebanon
The top story on TV news last night was not the Iraq war or tentative Lebanon peace, or major court rulings on tobacco and warrantless wiretapping, or oil prices or pension "reform" or any of a dozen stories that affect millions of citizens.

TV's top story -- a new suspect in the decade-old murder of 6-year-old beauty princess JonBenet Ramsey -- affects very few people.


But it has the potential of grabbing millions of us, as spectators. That's the beauty of the story to the owners and managers of TV news - my former bosses. They couldn't be more thrilled to see new life in the tabloid story of the death of Little Miss Colorado, a story they'd grudgingly given up on years ago.

In a media system dominated by entertainment conglomerates, it's no accident that we're served up a steady stream of "top" stories saturated by sex, violence and celebrity: OJ, Princess Di, JonBenet, JFK Jr., Condit/Levy, child abductions (especially upper-middle class blonde girls), Laci Peterson, the runaway bride, the missing teen in Aruba, etc.

Let's face it: The Murdochs and Disneys and Time Warners and GEs that own our media system much prefer a nation of mindless consumers and spectators over a nation of informed, active citizens. They like the fact that avid TV viewers know all the intimate details about the JonBenet or OJ murder cases - and almost nothing about how big corporations lobby against middle-class interests in Washington.

BREAKING: JonBenet Ramsey's killer used illegal wiretappingPosted by David DeGraw at 9:32 AM on August 21, 2006.



In today's War & Peace Report, Democracy Now! reported on the lack of coverage concerning the major decision that came down last week regarding the president's illegal and unconstitutional wiretapping program. Somehow, the JonBenet Ramsey case is much, much, much more important to the TV networks. Nevermind that historic ruling about how the president is torching the Constitution, the American public needs to focus on a 10 year old murder case.

Our friends at Think Progress broke down the coverage on the day the decision came in:


"ABC devoted twice as much time to Ramsey as it did to the NSA story. More egregiously, CBS offered seven times as much airtime to Ramsey as it did to the NSA story, while NBC devoted 15 times more airtime. Below is a comparison of the allocation of time made by each network:


NETWORK----RAMSEY SEGMENT---NSA SEGMENT


NBC-----------------7:39-----------------0:27


CBS-----------------3:23-----------------0:25


ABC-----------------4:03-----------------2:00

And thanks to the joys of video blogging, having to submit myself to hours of mind numbing "news" coverage, I know these numbers have only gotten worse. If you know of any updated comparison numbers, email me.

Show me where there has been name calling and fighting in the other thread that I pointed out. I dare ya!

I doubt Karr did it. I find it interesting from a phycological point of view (at one time I wanted to be a phycologist).

What makes him tick? I just heard that his mother put some kindling around him (when he was a baby) and was going to set him on fire. His older brother stopped her. She was later put in an asylum.

Maybe she should have lit the match.
