I'll give the Jessie Marie Davis story just one or two more days before calling it ..........

[Stinky The Clown]

........ either intentional misdirection or centrally controlled psyops.

Yeah ... the clown's going nutz again. Feh ... so what?

The story is as nationally relevant as Lacy Peterson's story. It has much of the same elements to it. Chief among them is a quite likely viable-on-its-own fetus who already has a widely known name and sex.

Citizen and human rights afforded a fetus. Guess who loves that story line?

Then there's the ability to allow this (with frequent, breathless, cutaways to The Great Paris Springing) to smother all other news. Like the two guys missing in Iraq. Like the latest Supreme Court injustice ruling abut rich people's rights to fund special interest noise makers in election times. Like Cheney telling Congress and the country to get fucked. Like even the immigration kabuki dance being done in Congress.

But we also have race involved in this, too.

Black guy. Two (that we know of) white girlfriends. More than one kid. Black woman accomplice who had to have her door "Battering Rammed" to allow them to go in a get a few bottles of Clorox and some rags.

Today they want to show the guy at his first court appearance in his orange duds.

Okay. I'll stretch and call that newz.

But after that?

Fuck You Newz (FYN) is what it will be.

[librechik]

1. you forgot the other obvious redmeat: blackman kills white woman

outrage elicitor.

Gives this news item extra ick!

[RamboLiberal]

16. And a police officer to boot

These kind of stories shouldn't be national "breaking" news. They should be local or regional stories and left to local news reporters to hyperventilate over.

[blondeatlast]

2. And what the SCOTUS didn't do isn't news, but should be--

putting off the decision on ENRON liability.

Yup--nothing to see here folks, nothing at all. :sarcasm:

[greenissexy]

3. Racism

That's why it is being covered.

[TahitiNut]

4. It's got something for everyone in the Jerry Springer audience.

PREGNANT white woman MURDERED by BLACK male POLICE lover while CHILD in home.

It's OJ + Lacy Peterson + Rodney King in one story!! It's super-meth for prurience addicts.

The sounds of Nancy Grace's judgment-gasms can be heard around the globe.

[Contrary1]

7. You left out another important detail:

"PREGNANT white woman MURDERED by BLACK male POLICE lover while CHILD in home...in soiled diaper."

[greenissexy]

8. Good point about the "soiled diaper" phrase

The motel where I'm staying plays Fox News 24/7 in the lobby, and I've heard the term "soiled diapers" dozens of times just in passing. WTF is their obscession with crap? The child's mother is dead, and you're talking about a dirty diaper? Why? It's insane.

[Rosemary2205]

14. WTF is their obscession with crap?

Do you really have to ask?

[Babsbrain]

13. You aint' wrong

We live in Jerry Springerworld now.

[porphyrian]

5. Stop giving the corporate media your valuable attention.

They are full of shit and entirely irrelevant. Ignore them.

[greenissexy]

10. Ummm

> They are full of shit and entirely irrelevant.

Like the diaper we keep hearing about?

[porphyrian]

11. I don't know what diaper you mean, but probably. - n/t

[ecstatic]

6. Just learning about this case-can anyone help me out?

It's like I've been under a rock. Is there a smoking gun?

Could this guy have been framed (for dating all those pretty white girls)? Just trying to get up to speed!

[Sadie4629]

15. Not likely

Whenever a woman is murdered, the most likely perpetrator is the husband or boyfriend. Domestic violence is pervasive in our culture.

[TwilightGardener]

9. Local news only. Should never have attracted national media attention.

Murder happens everyday--it's as old as mankind. Really, really tired of hearing about it.

[Catherine Vincent]

12. I understand this is a tragedy.

But I'll never understand why this has to be in the news on a daily basis even after the perp is caught and jailed.
