This is old news, but I was curious as to what people think about Mary Bell.

For anyone who doesn't know, Bell killed a 3 year old child in 1968 when she herself was 11. Bell's mother, a prostitute, tried to murder her 4 times when she was a kid and regularly 'rented' her to customers, which was obviously seen as a cause of her diagnosed psychopathy. She was rehabilitated and freed, and is now 50.

Several years ago the press found her, Bell was released from custody in 1980 and was granted anonymity to start a new life with her daughter, born in 1984. This daughter did not know of her mother's past until Bell's location was discovered by reporters: she and her mother had to leave their house with bed sheets over their heads. The daughter's anonymity was originally protected until she reached the age of 18. However, on May 21, 2003, Bell won a High Court battle to have her own anonymity and that of her daughter extended for life.

From the beginning Fox News with held it's opinion about the guilt of the lacrosse players at Duke. The heavy hitters (O'Reilly, Hannity, Colms, et al) wanted to see the evidence. The other channels parroted what Niphong said and lynched the students in the media. Now we know the truth and that Fox News was on top of it. The other networks and their anchors failed to do their jobs.

Can you believe Simpson would go to such lengths to create a company to hide the money he would have made from this book so that Ron Goldman's father would not get it? The Goldmans won a 38 million law suit (and only saw 2000.00 of that) and here this (fill in your best cuss word here) would have stood to make all that money from a book basically that states "this is how I would have done it had I done it"...it STILL boggles my mind that he would go to such lengths...how atrociously vile that is to even contemplate such a thing.

I like what the story says in the end...that the Goldmans if they win, have rights to the book...and may actually publish it under the title I DID IT or CONFESSIONS OF A MURDERER or whatever it was.

I'm doing a journalism survey: what do you think the role of the press is today, ideally and practically?
If you were allowed to fix one thing about the press and its audience, what would it be/why?

...having a fascist agenda? Or whatever the critisism of the network is? It just seems like another news channel to me.

is it just me or do news stations like CNN, MSNBC, ect. keep trying to bring the attention towards entertainment news like Paris Hilton and Anna Nicole Smith. i soooo freaking tired of being lied to. 24/7 news and all they can report is the same 15 entertainment stories every half hour. half the anchors are just pretty faces with no experience, and 90% of the people they interview are gossip columnists!!!!!!!!!! AHHHH!!!!

Watch the following YouTube video, it is very interesting, and it shows very disturbing facts about today's media. They attack Don Imus for a single statement, but refused to cover this torture and murder. It's important that we know how the press is deliberately covering up the truth.

like an hour ago, when I switched to CNN I saw Prince Harry talking in an interview, and the weird thing is that it has BBC 1 logo on the upper part of the screen.. I dunno what he is talking about because I was in awe of his hot looks. I guess only saw the last part...
is there a title to this interview? is this different from the nbc interview to be aired on monday? is this downloadable?

So now not only will cereal suck, but the company will go out of business because parents don't want to take the responsibility of watching what their children eat!
