People keep watching, adbuyers keep buying, CNN keeps airing. - ty97 Feb 10, 08:14 7
- I do not know who this person is -- nm - con_carne Feb 10, 08:16 6
  - A lot of people do though. This is has been a major ratings story over the past (year?) -- nm - ty97 Feb 10, 08:18 4
    - Better than a war, I guess. -- nm - Spawn Feb 10, 08:19
    - meanwhile, the bailout plan is a minor story. -- nm - loosilu Feb 10, 08:19 2
      - I don't know about that. The stimulus has been all over the news. - ty97 Feb 10, 08:27 1
        
        *pummels you with the irony brick* -- nm - loosilu Feb 10, 08:28
  - you're probably better off -- nm - znufrii Feb 10, 08:17
They haven't had a memorial service for this kid yet? - Will Hunting Feb 10, 08:13
Well, it's not like there's anything important going on right now, like a cabinet secretary making an important policy address -- nm - znufrii Feb 10, 08:11 5
- exactly. -- nm - loosilu Feb 10, 08:12 4
  - *weeps for the future of this country* -- nm - znufrii Feb 10, 08:12 3
    - *weeps for the present of this country* -- nm - TaurusII Feb 10, 08:13 2
      - *unwraps* -- nm - USA Feb 10, 08:16
      - *DING* -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Feb 10, 08:16
Since I have no idea who that is, it probably doesn't. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Feb 10, 08:07 20
- toddler who was allegedly murdered by her mother. -- nm - loosilu Feb 10, 08:08 19
  - uh-huh... That doesn't really help since that happens all too often. - Cuzzin Todd Feb 10, 08:09 18
    - Orlando Mom doesn't report 3-year old missing for over 30 days, parties in the meantime, then gets arrested for the murder. - JaxSean Feb 10, 08:18 1
      - I tend to put stories like that, that SHOULDN'T be national news, on "ignore." -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Feb 10, 08:26
    - Is this the one dropped off an overpass? - Spawn Feb 10, 08:13 15
      - Nope. Mom claimed Caylee was abducted and resulted in huge man-hunt (it was all over national news). - decline Feb 10, 08:14 1
        
        (while doing online searches of how to make chloroform, FB-messaging friends that she needed to borrow their duct tape, etc.) -- nm - kelly Feb 10, 08:15
      - The overpass kid was in Australia, iirc. This was the little girl from FL. -- nm - kelly Feb 10, 08:14 3
        
        Ahhh... think I recall the girl going missing now. I also recall, at the time, wondering why the story was getting the national attention it was - Cuzzin Todd Feb 10, 08:18 1
        
        Because the mom is hot, and Caylee was adorable. - JaxSean Feb 10, 08:23
        
        that one was a bridge, and her father. -- nm - mafic Feb 10, 08:15
      - no. Girl disappeared, mother did not report her missing for a month. Girls body was found a year later. -- nm - loosilu Feb 10, 08:13 8
        
        Nancy Grace has become Lou Dobbsian in her insanity on this particular case. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 10, 08:14 7
        
        so she scaled it back a couple notches? -- nm - mafic Feb 10, 08:16
        
        How so? -- nm - kelly Feb 10, 08:14 5
        
        Completely one dimension, frothing at the mouth...basically she's lost her right to be considered a journalist. - Will Hunting Feb 10, 08:26 4
        
        I stopped watching CNN Headline News about four or five years ago simply because she was on it. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 10, 08:29
        
        Grace has never been a journalist. At best she's a demagogue. -- nm - Reagen Feb 10, 08:27
        
        Okay, but what is she saying regarding the case? - kelly Feb 10, 08:26 1
        
        Whatever keeps her getting ratings. I haven't listened to her recently, but every single show she seems to run is about this case. - Will Hunting Feb 10, 08:29
