Now Amanda Knox will overshadow all of the MSM OWS news. Just great!

[Lint Head]

:grr:

Hope it was the right verdict. We have a nation that is being suppressed by our financial overlords and a murder verdict is just the ticket for a corporately controlled media to hammer all other news into oblivion. TMZ is loving the hell out of this.

I turned off my television really, really early this morning.....

1. I'm sure the court in Italy conspired with the the US media to make that happen.

:sarcasm:

Unfortunately, the rest of the world still exists and stuff happens in it. Some of that stuff will temporarily overshadow the stuff we care more about. But if the OWS movement has any legs - and I think it does - it will still be there when the Amanda Knox verdict is off the front page, which will be in about 2 days.

2. don't worry. I'll calm down soon. Maybe there will be a brief stir when her

book comes out and a movie is made about her. But I don't see this lasting too long.

[RZM]

3. Not for long

People will talk about the verdict today and tomorrow, but by the end of the week it will be out of the cycle completely.

4. I bet lots of DUers will start threads about it too. Knocking other subjects off the front page (nt)

[Rebubula]

6. LOL

I see what you did there...

[Broderick]

11. HAHAHA

so right.

14. Is a bullfrog waterproof?

Is the Pope Catholic?

:)

5. Dunno, I give this one a couple of days.

She'll give a few interviews and then be whisked off for parts unknown with her family. Families with means can remove the Bright Shiny Objects pretty quickly from the mass media.

[tridim]

8. At least until she gets her reality show

I hope she's smarter than that.

She'll also get thousands of marriage proposals.

7. Who is Casey Anthony?

:shrug:

9. The message will be "Ain't America great, just ask Amanda."

10. There was not much media on the OWS news in the first place -

It may mean we don't get hourly updates on Christie's non decision for a day.

[Bake]

12. It's a good thing the Troy Davis case didn't happen at the same time as OWS.

We might not have been able to think about two things at once.

13. Can't get enough of the Amanda Knox product. More product! More!

If you're reading this in the news divisions of cable TV America, you need to find better ways to get more of that Amanda Knox product out there to sell. The Amanda Knox product is flying off the shelves of America!

[MineralMan]

15. Yes, well...I see you are helping in that effort with your post.

:shrug:

16. Amanda gets on the plane. Amanda gets off the plane. Amanda has press confab. Amanda 24/7.

[Bloke 32]

17. For a brief period, perhaps

Don't despair. :-)
