totally disagree...although do think the news is creating a numb society..also think that people like to shoot the messenger when the messenger presents news that threatens the news recipient and sense of wellbeing.. sorry I veered off the subject matter of thread...gold up 2.65

Richard, << Or could it be a sign of the fact the media is truly in power. Could it have been that if this had happened 5 years ago, there would have been far less said in the media. It has something to do with the way it is reported, the way the media now runs a single story in the ground for a month running. Yes, I agree it is terrible. >> It did happen almost 5 years ago... about 75 miles from Jonesboro, in West Memphis, Ark. Different circumstances, 3 seven year old boys were murdered, raped and mutilated. 3 teenage boys were convicted of the crime. I'll agree with you that the media will sensationalize a story to death, but I'll tell you that, at least here, there is a strong feeling of horror this happened. Apologies for being off topic again...
