Is anyone else really tired of "Alleged?"

72. You are absolutely right

It is hard to get a fair trial. And I shutter down in my soul when I see things like George Zimmerman do a nationally televised interview. The intent was obviously to taint the jury pool and put into their minds a perception of him as the victim rather than the dead boy.

Our media and our politicians regularly taint the jury pool and the court of public opinion. That Brian Williams has still not been fired or re-assigned for alleging James Holmes was a Tea Bagger is deplorable. In his zeal to gin up a controversy for ratings Williams did a disservice to himself and all news reporters.

Note, I am not fond of Tea Baggers but I will extend to them their right to have an opinion and express it. It serves no good when a reporter or politician paints an entire movement or culture with one broad brush. Be that a negative or positive brush. Both are still just the opinion of the bloviator.
