SICK of hearing about Simpson
I don't read the stories on news websites, I change the channel if the story is on, I don't give a crap, and I don't understand who the hell would, except the MSM themselves, because as usual, they haven't a clue what real news is and what the public needs and wants to hear and read about. No, it much easier to cover nonsense. I wish it were possible to boycott them all until they stopped covering this idiot, but since everyone is covering the story, it would be like trying to empty the ocean one teaspoon at a time. My only concern is for his two youngest children. Many people in this world are of the opinion that he killed their mother, you'd think the least he could do for them is to live a quiet life and keep a low profile so that the whole thing isn't dredged up again and again. It really just completely pisses me off, and the MSM is aiding and abetting him. They should be should be horsewhipped for keeping his name in the news.

1. it is disgusting
now they are trotting out Kato? :puke:

I wonder about OJ's children - I recall they were quite adorable. They are 18 and 20 now - and I'm wondering if they know their dad killed their mom.

3. I am thinking it would be difficult for the children NOT to know
How could one insulate them from that kind of media barrage?

4. They know everything
My opinion is that dad has told them all their lives that he didn't do, he doesn't know who did it, and everyone has it all wrong about him. What they have chosen to believe is unknown. I understand they have grown up and are doing very well. I think much of it has to do with the way Nicole's mother put aside her feelings about their father and worked with him, assisting him with their upbringing. I know that she has always kept the lines of communication open with him so that she and her entire family could have a relationship with Sidney and Justin, otherwise, he could have cut her and the whole Brown side of their family off from them and they couldn't have done a thing about it. I think she has got to be the most selfless person in the world to have actually worked all these years, for the sake of her grandchildren, with the man she believes murdered one of her own daughters.

5. I guess Nicole's folks are better people than me

I would have been scared to death to leave the kids with a homicidal maniac (I do realize there wasn't much they could have done about it) and I doubt I could have hidden that very well

2. I haven't watched TV news in about 10 years
and now when I watch it it seems like the informational equivelent of junk food.

The idea that the critical--CRITICAL--issues of the day can be explained in 5 minute segments is laughable, not to mention the idea that sports, stocks, and movies are important news to be covered in the half hour devoted to world events...! :o

No preaching, just fact.
