The point of starting this thread was to demonstrate the utter absurdity of what the media thinks is National News, worth using big splashes of FOX NEWS ALERT, etc. You see the ALERT, your ears perk up, you look at the TV, and it's just more junk from the Peterson trial. In this era of terror attacks, we are helplessly drawn to anything we see as breaking news. It is akin to crying wolf. If this is what the 24/7 news cycle has led us to, then it's pretty sad. I don't mind them updating us on the trial, but they display any update as an alert. IMHO, as others have also stated, murders occur daily, and many more horrifying than this story, so why does the media latch on to this particular one and beat it into the ground?
FOX news alerts have become an absolute joke. It's kind of like the boy who cried wolf, I just don't pay any attention to them anymore.
The Red Sox WIN! Breaking news!
BTW, all the Peterson case stories are compiled on ONE thread. Why did you start a new one?
