Yesterday brought the shocking news that some weirdo really hadn’t snuck half way across the country, killed little JonBenet, and ultimately turned up in Thailand. I’m still trying to come to terms with this stunning development.
And so after a week of breathless TV news reports on what John Mark Karr eat or went to the bathroom, and endless hours of legal pundits speculating on a case that never materialized, we’ve come to this.
I agree with Howard Kurtz:
Will every anchor, correspondent and producer who shamelessly hyped the John Mark Karr story now apologize for taking the country for a ride?
Don’t hold your breath.
This was such a sham, from the opening moments, that it instantly goes down with the greatest media embarrassments in modern history.
Yes, I’d like an apology from all the news people who wasting my time with this garbage when I wanted to watch real news. CNN, MSNBC, and FNC producers: feel free to leave your apologies in the comment section.
