Nancy Grace.

Howard might want to look closer to home, Rather than speak in General. We all know who spent more time on it.

Elliott Spitzer & Jeffrey Toobin together does it get any funnier then that. CNN at its worst.

Captain Obvious.

Uhh Howie, ever hear the expression “If it bleeds, it leads”?

Kurtz said: “Unfortunately many children are killed each year in this country. It’s television news and it’s thirst for ratings and it’s thirst for sensation and it’s hunger for soap opera that takes relatively unknown people, the Laci Peterson case, the Natalee Holloway case, and now Casey Anthony, and turns it into this spectacle that I feel is kind of merchandising tragedy.”

Merchandising? So they are coming out with a new line of Caylee toys? Its not merchandising, and it is crazy to suggest that presenting news each day, with up to the minute war coverage, with commercials, is any different than making money off of high profile criminal cases that people are clearly interested in.

Sure, only a few of the many criminal cases make it to the big stage, like this case, or the Peterson case, etc., but they represent all the others.

TV performers get ratings bonuses. HLN has had a huge increase in ratings. So, who will profit the most from this murder? Its Nancy Grace. She might as well have blood on her hands.

I’m not a big fan of Howard Kurtz, but I’m with him 100% on this one. He stated part of what I’ve been saying about other murders. I don’t know why they made such a soap opera out of the Casey Anthony case. I am sickened by the way the media sensationalize it for ratings.

The White House agrees with Kurtz!

All this focus on Anthony is taking precious time away from the media’s central role of running cover, slanting stories, and shilling for the Democrats!

Truthfully, if you are expressing any kind of surprise and outrage that people in media have an eye on the ratings then I think you have just voided yourself as any kind of expert. Next thing you know, Howard, networks will be posting flashy graphics and running scrolls on screen with headlines on them!

The hell has he been the past few decades????

Hey Dems,
Would YOUR mainstream media have covered this case nearly as much had it been a black mother in the Bronx with her baby?

We all KNOW the answer!

The real question is how much surreptitious racism really lurks in the minds of “Progressive Democrats”?

A better question would be, who really gives shit. People can think what they want

Right..

I saw this story more on Fox news than other channels… Trust me.. There were few days where they ran Casey Anthony trial for hours and hours..

All of the media got into this..

Seriously. Ratings equal revenue. Anyone that has an inch of experience in television or any media knows that but Howard Kurtz sits on the wrong side of the building when making such a silly comment. If Casey Anthony helps CNN get ratings, praise Jesus! The audience for this network have been dropping faster than than Tiger Woods’s career and any story like this is a coup for CNN. Once again if ratings spike, you can charge more for commercials on air and ad content online. When will talent ever learn this simple lesson? Hey Howard, you get a paycheck based on the success of CNN. If the network doesn’t make money from ad content then you’re out of work pal. Oh yeah, like that Spitzer fella. No ratings, no revenue and then no job at CNN.

Yeah I know… 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, full coverage nonstop Casey Anthony trial…. Oh wait, that was HLN, sister network to CNN…

Not another word on Casey Anthony — UNLESS its the story of how George buys a gun puts it in Caseys mouth, then Cindys, then himself . I dont want to see any interviews, see the movie, read the book if told by her it will never be true.. I’m open to hear from either legal team – Jose’s story if he was told the truth by his client would be worth being disbarred– I never want to see Casey again unless dead or back in trouble (definitely not porn she make me sick).. Jury you all need to remain silent – so pepole dont find out just how dumb you all really are.
