Has News Media Turned Into Trash TV?
Published:
Updated:
Do you think this is going too far?
CNN's "Larry King Live" show will have Drew Peterson as its guest on Friday night. As you probably know, the former police officer is a prime suspect in the disappearance of his fourth wife, Stacy. Recently, after her disappearance, the body of his third wife was exhumed and ruled a homicide. The medical examiner said it was a murder "staged to look like an accident." (Maybe the deep gash in her head was previously overlooked because he was a police officer?)
Anyway, I am not convicting this man of anything. It's just that I was shocked that a man who is suspected of murdering 2 of his wives is becoming such a celebrity. He seems to enjoy the attention and has already gotten his 15 minutes of fame. Now he is the guest of a popular talk show host on a so-called news channel.
They're advertising "he will be here to take your calls." That's exciting to me because I never got the chance to talk to Jeffrey Dahmer or Ted Bundy.

If Stacy was my daughter, there would be no whole Drew. He would have been drawn and quartered , 4 easy pieces. See if the med. examiner could figure that out. This media spectacle is sickening, that smirking murdering ex-cop should be tossing salad. His enablers should also be tossing salad, this is a perfect example of bad local govt..
2. Television is and has never been an entertainment business. It is an advertising medium, and the shows you watch are aired to capture your attention for the commercials. Remember the screaming they did when remotes started to include a "Mute" button? Networks and stations derive their income solely from commercials, and the rates the advertisers pay them are determined by the ratings. The higher the ratings, the higher the advertising rates. And, since sensationalism boosts ratings, they can and will schedule this kind of programming involving those kinds of people.
As far as Drew Peterson. His day will come. jarasan I'm not going to tell you what I thought of when you said "tossing salad"
John, I said he hasn't been convicted, but since he is the key suspect, he should be keeping a low profile. He isn't just a suspect in Stacy's disappearance but in his third wife's murder. His second wife, who is still alive, had confided in Bolingbrook police officers when they were married that he was violent and threatened to kill her. How has he gone on like this for so long? Due process is very important, but giving suspected criminals the spotlight to feed their egos is really going overboard. I mean, advertising that you can call up a show and talk to a possible murderer...it's a little too much.
Jarasan, I agree. I also believe Kathy Savio was crying from her grave. The first medical examiner did little to check for possible homicide. Oh, I just learned a new expression. Had to look up tossing salad on google.
Tenaj, Larry King should retire already. He used to be interesting, but I agree that he now gives into whatever trash CNN wants him to broadcast. Just a personal note: imagine an unattractive woman his age doing the show. Mike Wallace will be 90 this year and finally left 60 minutes last year. That's why I hope 78 year old Barbara Walters (who looks beautiful IMO) never retires.
Tenaj, yes he is a woman. But did you ever see this guy?

I remember back in the fifties a show who had Jackie Cooper I think his name was or is. The couple lived in a trailer and had a beagle dog.
Any way they had their friends over on one show and they were talking and one of the wives annonced that she was PREGNANT.
I was in my early teens at the time. You should have heard my mother go in a rant when the word pregnant was used. WHEW.
Tv has come a long way since then.
I think we only had like two channels back then LOL.
Before that it was radio. I can remember the family sitting around the radio laughing at the comedy shows.
We use to get a huge montgomery ward catalog when I was young.
The highlight of my younger years were the photos of women in bra and panty ads in the catalog.
Then we went shopping at wards and I peeked at the mannequins.
LOL.
Now I'm the one going off-topic. Hey, it's my blog. Nya, nya, nay! :-)
You asked previously why I would comment about turning off the boob tube ..... from all I've posted on my blog about law of attraction one fundamental is whatever you hold in your mind is what you resonate with and draw to you in external events such as irrational people. This is the primary reason I stopped doing political posts ........ too many cooties and not enough bug spray to get rid of them.
When I see uncut 'R' movies now, it appears as if it is some kind of contest against all the other 'R' movies to see who can use the F word the most per movie! I don't have cable and I like the way that language is cut out for local viewing.
TrueCritic - I don't mind profanity if it fits the scene. I mean, if you are watching a movie like Casino or Goodfellas and Joe Pesci yells "freak you" or "forget you" it sort of loses its meaning.
Was a metaphor used on myself alone to say that by resonating or staying in the middle of political drama that I was drawing drama [negative energy] to myself. The word cootie was used as I've heard children use it on tv as an undesirable circumstance ....... which negative energy is if someone is sensitive enough to perceive it.
I used my own example as a lesson I learned from reading about Law of Attraction.
