FOX/CNN/MSNBC DISSECTED
Some great analysis of the current cable media landscape from CJR today. I disagree with a few points (especially the bit about MSNBC offering a rainbow of opinons) but this quote is interesting:
From personal experience covering news around the world, you almost always run into a CNN crew or stringer. You almost never run into a Fox reporter, and never one from MSNBC.
Read the whole thing at CJR’s website.

The George Tiller Murder – Inside The Demented Mind Of Scott Roeder
There are a few subjects I distance myself from on the radio show. I’ve never been a big fan of talking about the conflict in Gaza — you don’t get anywhere and debate often turns to fisticuffs — and I like to keep my distance from the abortion debate for the same reason. Though I think emotion makes for great radio, I don’t enjoy spinning my wheels in a useless debate. Still, I…

Drew Peterson Pleads ‘Not Guilty’ To Murder
No shocker here; Drew Peterson pleads ‘not guilty’ at a court appearance this morning. His attorney is also asking for a judge-swap in the case.

Wesleyan University Killer Stephen Morgan Details Surface
“Kill Johanna. She must Die” and “I think it’s ok to kill Jews and go on a killing spree” are just two of the tidbits out of Stephen Morgan’s diary that would scare any sane person. Morgan, 29, made his first court appearance Friday for the murder of a 21-year-old Wesleyan University employee. The details just get more and more bizarre. Even Morgan’s father called him a ‘loner’ who openly detested Jews.

Drew Peterson Arrested For The Murder Of 3rd Wife
They finally got the bastard. Drew Peterson was arrested near his house on Thursday afternoon. After endless interviews where a laughing Peterson played cat-and-mouse with the press about his involvement in the disappearance of one ex-wife and the death of another, police finally gathered up enough evidence to grab a warrant and toss the ex-sergeant behind bars. No word on what prompted the arrest just yet but I’m guessing details will follow at…
