God I thought I would finally get a chance to stop hearing this crap of circumstantial evidence but it is going on day to day
They have not Republican news to report about how they are destroying this country - it is sickening

9. It's tabloid infotainment, meant to distract us from what's going on
in a government that seems intent on pulling as much money out of the economy to hand to the rich and the military as it possibly can.

But just try suggesting to a Momma Bear with a jerking knee that the thing is over and maybe she oughta start paying attention to something else and she'll act like you killed the kid.

5. They're businesses trying to maximize profit by running what they believe will draw the most viewers
Not a lynch mob. The best way to get them to change their behavior is to change the channel when they run something you don't want to watch.

7. Thanks for making that point!!
It's tragic that the little girl died, but what about all the other children in the U.S. who also die from murder or from lack of health care? Why was this child's case singled out and not all the others?

What a major distraction (by design, in my opinion, if only because of newscaster decision) for the citizens of this country.

Why can't the American public feel a little passion for children by the numbers who may be suffering? Or must there always be a face associated with him or her before we care?

I know it's not a similar story or related news, but I remember having similar feelings and questions in the nineties when it was all Elian Gonzalez coverage, all the time!
:wtf:

8. what about all the homeless children, malnourished, no health care
there are a lot of dying children in this country - never understood why all the rest of the murders in this country and especially this city don't get coverage

they are just getting their money's worth.
