This is one subject on which I struggle to maintain my ignorance. I can thankfully say that 90% of my information on this case has come from this thread :eek:
That said, are you sure this guy isn’t some kind of hermit? Possibly he’s only recently been returned from an alien abduction? Maybe he spends most of his time as Tether Boy[sup]1[/sup] with the lion act in some travelling circus? These seem more likely explanations than “journalists” actually leaving the poor guy alone out of respect.
[sup]1[/sup] Picture a combination of the Boy Wonder and that popular cat game, tetherball.
Bullshit. Would the media ever ever discredit itself? Hell no. Not the “big wigs”. They would never go after themselves because it’s all marketing. Think about it: “Hey, look, we and everyone else were wrong! We screwed up!” I don’t quite think the public would riot, but I don’t think it would be a positive move for public opinion when John Doe finds out the Media is just a marketing ploy. . .
Tripler
I have never trusted the Media, and never will. Goddamn vultures. . .
I hereby apologize on behalf of my media brethren.
No, on second thought, I don’t. They’re fuckwits. I told my local boys and gals as much yesterday concerning Levy. And lo-- we had no story. (I am proud to say that I have never run a story about this gal, and never will…)
However, it is summer-- and everyone is on vacation. Tra la la.
Crunchy Frog, what do you do that you are subjected to CNN all day long? That should qualify as cruel and unusual punishment. I suggest running around and muting all the TVs, then prying out the volume knobs and hiding the remotes.
Meanwhile, I suggest you all bitch to CNN about their incessant coverage. Pick a phone number.

It ain’t just CNN… the Suits at MSNBC are also pulling their puds over this non-story.
While me and the buds were driving to Qualcomm Stadium tonight to watch transformers explode in lieu of a baseball game, we came up with the Question of the Day:
What IS it with the chubby Jewish girls from California, daughters of doctors, going to Washington to blow the geezers?
If only I could, Barbarian. I do computer work for AT&T in this large room with about 150 workstations. TVs are mounted on the walls, out of reach, for everyone to see. At each workstation is a little speaker you can turn up or down if you want to listen to the TV. There are no remotes and the TVs are on CNN all the time.
My only choice would be vandalizing every speaker at every desk.
Thanks for the phone numbers, though. I never thought I’d actaully get to rant at CNN in person. Too fuckin’ cool!
