GOP Rep. Stockman Sums Up Cable News’ Jodi Arias Obsession With One Disturbing Tweet

Rep. Steve Stockman (R-TX) is known for his provocative tweets and comments, but he really outdid himself today with this message about the all-hands on deck coverage of the Jodi Arias murder trial today. Shortly before the jury’s guilty verdict was read, Stockman tweeted his take on the media coverage of trial’s climax in relation to how the media have covered the Benghazi hearings and Kermit Gosnell trial.

So, according to Rep. Stockman, had Arias killed a U.S. ambassador or an infant, cable news would be ignoring her right now instead going wall-to-wall with coverage of the verdict.
