EvC Forum: La Cage Aux Foley

Almost overnight, people everywhere completely forgot about the habeas corpus issue and started talking about an old man's personal life. This is like when Matthew Sheppard got tortured to death because he was gay. The liberal media gave the unfortunate young man 2 minutes of their broadcast time before going back to talk about Clinton's sex life. What worse, when christians (or so they claimed to be) protested at sheppard's funeral and wanted to erect a monument welcoming him to hell, the liberal media ignored it completely and continued to talk about Clinton's sex life.

Er...how is ignoring the murder of a young gay man and the fundamentalist crazies protesting at his funeral in favor of promoting the right wing frenzy over Clinton's blowjob equated with the "liberal media"??

I also fail to see how the "liberal media" is responsible for the current Foley spectacle superceding the suspension of habeas corpus when they are both supposedly "liberal" hot topics.

If anything, I would think that the "conservative media" and the powers that be are using this opportunity to squelch discussion about the habeas corpus/torture/wiretap issues and to be able to point to how much the "liberals" are blowing the Foley issue out of proportion.

Media conspiracy theories aside

, sex sells. News organizations know this and will discuss this issue ad nauseum in order to get more readers/viewers to buy their product.
