Documenting the destruction
TRACKBACKS
It's interesting to read the one comment about the Jon Benet Ramsey case taking up the first 11 minutes of the broadcast. In one of those reports the reporter said the suspect might merely be getting his 15 minutes of fame. Hopefully that means we only have to listen to four more minutes about this case.

actually, we're NOT interested in jon bonet whats-her-name anymore..its been run into the ground while real news gets set aside..tragic no doubt, but let it end..thousands of kids are killed each year etc..what makes jon so special in the larger perspective?..nothing...report on the plight of the homeless or poor in this country..raise awareness of humanitarian issues..not just go for the sensationalism of a story...people are sick of it.
