anger diffusion

It can sometimes seem that in order to make a compelling or passionate statement about the (lack of) focus or quality in main stream media it must contain a less than flattering mention of Jonbenet in the sensational coverage of her yet-to-be-solved murder.

In taking a swipe at the media in this way usually comes unsavory mention of the Ramsey's parenting values via pageant participation or criticism for their post trauma behavior. One could hope that there would ever be a family that would 'know' the correct way to react in such a horrifying situation in order to satisfy an inexperienced public opinion.

Even worse is what could almost be construed as disdain or resentment toward the murdered child for somehow causing the media sensation in the first place.

Used in the same breath as criminal elements presence under the Bush administration, it is not a wonder fascination for JonBenet will continue to be a fodder for main stream media--

What Liberal Media?
by Robert A. Kezelis

"...bloviators like Ann Coulter have long complained about media bias. A LIBERAL bias. Imagine my shock when after searching long and hard for such a welcome viewpoint, that no such bias exists. To the contrary, today's media has become shallow, insipid, brain-dead, and worst of all, boring. When six countries are at each others' throats in the middle east, (Palestine, Israel, Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran, Turkey) corporate media thinks that we are more concerned missing besotted blond bimbettes, or dead children whose parents abused them, forcing them into beauty contests at the age of four (JonBenet), or worst of all, what some faux plumber who is not named Joe thinks about McCain's economic plans.

Worse yet, in today's era of instant global communications, America's MSM has been notable not for its successes, but its failures...

Intelligent discussions of American policy and America's problems would be far better than wondering if JonBenet's mommy was a killer. Besides, if the new administration collects any criminal elements, like the Bush Administration did, I suspect that they would want that out in the open sooner than later, so they deal with the problem. Under Bush, such folks either received a presidential medal or a promotion."
