Bobby Cutts on CNN
Edited on Mon Feb-11-08 02:58 PM by Whisp
they've had him on crying on the stand for some time now with an inset pic of the girlfriend he killed.

I'm getting some vibes on this - something manipulative going on at CNN once again.
maybe it will strike someone else as well.

2. they're all covering it because the target audience is women in the day time news cycle
Mother killed. Little boy witnesses. Daddy put mommy in the rug. Daddy is a policeman and a domestic abuser. Daddy is black.

It's the kind of story that MSM day time news loves to milk for every poignant moment. It's crying towel news, not real news.

3. I don't think there are too many coincidences in
the big media.

Having all this time and camera focused on the 'scary black man' with a nice looking white woman's ghost staring us in the face the whole time.

maybe I'm getting too cynical, but that message could be taken as something to do with the campaign. jmo.

4. Get more sleep. Talk to more real people.
"Scary black men and their white female victims" has been the bulk of day-time news for decades.

5. it's on again.
flaming nostrils Nancy Grace will take it over tonight.

but I expect more clips throughout the day just to make sure the audience is saturated enough.
