1996 Allegations Still Painful For Jewell

CBS2CHICAGO ^ | 23 JULY 2006 | AP

[FReepaholic]

The MSM's finest moment.

[FairOpinion]

ANother shameful example of the MSM convicting heroes iwthout evidence, but making excuses for terrorists.

I still remember the nasty things and "analysis" the MSM published about Jewell.

[Ptarmigan]

I am no fan of lawsuits, but in this case, I hope he sues the pants out of AJC.

[stboz]

Birr Krintong not care. Sclew youa and mure you ride inon.

[fishtank]

"He gives speeches to college journalism classes about his experience with the media."

Good!

Here's what I would say:

What is a journal?

It is a written record of events, of what happened.

What is a journalist?

It SHOULD be someone who writes in a journal - NOT someone who has a goal to "change the world".

[LdSentinal]

This is the only "terrorist" Bill Clinton ever caught.

Look no further why 9/11 happened than the persecution of Richard "The White Male" Jewell.

[trumandogz]

Clinton and Reno rail roaded the FBI and the MSM to all but convicting Jewell.

[JRochelle]

I became a fan of Vanity Fair after they did an article about him. True its a liberal mag. but they do the best stories on crime.
Vanity Fair convinced me that Richard Jewell and the Ramseys were the victims of witch hunts.

"He brings a lot of experience. You could label him a hero," said Col. Chuck Smith, one of Jewell's superiors.

Then, remembering he was talking to a reporter, Smith added with a smile: "I guess you could label him however you want."

He sounds like a pretty decent guy and real solid law enforcement officer. I wonder how much blame should be laid at the feet of the FBI. Aren't they the ones who were telling the press he was the guy? Anytime there is a high profile case law enforcement shouldn't point out any suspects.

[DBrow]

I think it was more than the MSM that got him in trouble.

As soon as the backpack bomb was ID'd as similar to the type used against Israel, "someone" wanted to immediately shift the blame, and Jewell was the most likely one to take the rap, rather than raise the spectre of Islamic terrorism.

What he went through, and is going through, is terrible and should never have happened.

[Lurker]

This poor guy really got a raw deal. I hope he gets a couple of million from the Atlanta Urinal and Constipation.

As an aside the next time some smarmy liberal jerkoff asks you why we haven't caught OBL yet, just ask him or her if the name Eric Rudolph rings any bells.

Excuse the brain freeze. Who were the Ramseys?

Yup.

[fishtank]

The people whose little 6 year old girl was killed.

I forget the girls' name.

[GoBucks2002]

This is the only "terrorist" Bill Clinton ever caught.

Tim McVeigh, another white male.

"As an aside the next time some smarmy liberal jerkoff asks you why we haven't caught OBL yet, just ask him or her if the name Eric Rudolph rings any bells."

Excellent point! Bears repeating!

[mx5]

Yeah, it's too bad for him.... I know I'd do a double-take hearing his name, if I didn't know the rest of the story.

"The people whose little 6 year old girl was killed."
