Inside Edition Slimes Joe Biden - "Investigating" car crash
We were watching Michelle Obama clips from yesterday, and Alex Jones verbally attacking Malkin for being a fascist, and then they showed they were going to be showing their "INVESTIGATION" into the car crash that killed Joe Biden's wife. Their 'reporter' asks some older man with a mustache who must have been associated with it before, "she died from a drunk driver, TRUE or NOT TRUE?"

"Exclusive - Was the other driver really drunk"

4. They're tone and wording are just downright disgusting
they are saying over and over, without saying what, 'is this REALLY what happened?', 'he had just been elected to the Senate', and the 'facts of the case don't match up'.

Again, we've been seeing the promo for the piece during the whole show, and their tone makes it sound like it was her fault, and is implying that Joe used the drunk driving line for sympathy, from what it sounds like, since there's no evidence according to them.

9. My god - there are pictures of Biden being sworn in at the hospital, next to his son
hospital bed.


This is sick - and you can be sure Inside Edition doesn't want the rath of the Bidenites.

8. "Joe went on to find happiness with his current wife Jill"
"and Hunter went on to become a influential Washington Lobbyist".

So, his wife was made to sound like she might have been at fault, Joe was made to sound like he made up the drunk driver for pity, and they throw in the lines that make it sound like it was not what it appeared to be, they make the truck driver's family appear like victims because Biden is so popular and the daughter was afraid to speak up because of where they're at, and make sure they throw in that Hunter is a lobbyist...

NAUSEATING......

His wife is dead - does it really matter!
I mean let's just say the guy wasn't drunk - HIS WIFE AND DAUGHTER WERE KILLED.

Geez, can we stoop any lower than that?

29. CBS owns it....
assholes.

CBS owns King World, and they own Inside Edition..
(totally unrelated snip)
"The report, on health care organizations and their efforts to cut costs while executives get huge compensation packages, is not affected by the injunction, said Marc Rosenweig, the vice president for program production at King World, the company that owns "Inside Edition." But Mr. Rgsenweig said the company was appealing the decision because "it would be disturbing for all journalists if it does become a precedent."


From their site;
IMPORTANT! PLEASE CAREFULLY READ THESE TERMS OF USE ("TOU") BEFORE USING THIS WEB SITE, AS THEY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS. CBS Television Distribution, a division of CBS Studios Inc. ("Company" or "we," "our," or "us") owns or controls, and provides access to, InsideEdition.com (however accessed and/or used, whether via personal computers, mobile devices or otherwise) or other interactive features that are accessible or downloadable through InsideEdition.com and that link to these TOU (collectively, "Web Site").

15. Was Laura drunk or stoned?
Remember, she killed her boyfriend in Midland, TX back in the day in a freak accident. Do they want to go there?

I hope he doesn't let that happen. I hope it makes him even stronger than he even planned to be.

22. I've heard him say it was rumored the driver was drunk and he didn't pursue it.
Whether the truck driver was drunk, and even whether it was Neilia's fault, it sure as hell wasn't Joe's fault, and is it any less of a tragedy?

26. I heard the same thing. . .
It was said that the driver was drunk but Joe chose NOT to pursue charges because of his own reasons. He NEVER advertised that it was a drunk driver. And for what purpose, to get more pity?

This is disgusting.

Inside Edition should stick with stories about britney's little sister's baby's daddy's new girlfriend.

Take a tragedy and turn it into Joe is weak on crime.

Time to get MAAD and Hensley Distribution fights out in the open.
