Joseph and all: I see "the media" as a potential menance to society, distributing mis-information on a 24 hour non stop basis without classic investigation of the babble they blurb.

Now today is a good example- The Skakel Case. It would seem that the world has stopped and that absolutely nothing on earth is happening except the sentencing of this man, SKAKEL!

Now it seems that the pros and the cons have donne what they need to do and the judge has rendered his sentence. So yes report it. BUT for 24 hours, minute by minute and on every media outlet?

It is too much!!!!!!!!!!!

OK, climbing down off soap box.\\\
