While the US was riveted and divided by OJ, the GOP used the distraction to takeover Congress.

6. Pretrial was July94, right in the middle of World Cup and even distracted from World Cup.

EVERY network channel was consumed by every aspect of that case from the day it happened and it only got worse by the time of pretrial. Every aspect of that case was being discussed every day on every network throughout the summer and fall and certainly every day before the election.

I know quite well what occurred and when - we were fighting for attention for World Cup events in Los Angeles at the time. Our celebrities and athletes were being bumped off every show that they had previously booked in the months before the murder.

Your use of the calendar is absurd. You use it exactly like the GOP uses it in their most hollow denials. As if you wish for people too completely disconnect November 1994 from a huge media frenzy that began in June1994 by pushing it to when a jury was seated? That wasn't even a 'nice try'.
