I was having lunch with a co-worker today (thai food...delicious, btw), and my eye wandered over to a television at the bar area. CNN was obviously having a slow news day, because the headline was CONVICTED MURDERERS SUE TO GET PLAYBOY AND HUSTLER IN JAIL. Now, I'm liberal and all, but aren't they being punished for killing people? Maybe I'm wrong, but there are some things that they should not be entitled to. I think it is enough that they have television. And as a taxpayer, I certainly do not want my money going toward getting a murderer's rocks off.
To some people it may sound harmless, but I think it sounds absurd that they feel they have some right to this after taking another person's life. I hope this case is tossed out.

Yeah see thats whats called infotainment. That topic was on CNN last night as well. From a marketing standpoint its something that almost EVERYONE will get pissed about and when people are in accordance with the outrage thats being expressed by the CNN talking heads they are more likely to tune in again.
The story is nebulous and compltely un-newsworthy.
Adam, that is precisely why I do not watch CNN or any news channel.

I dunno, a little inspiration to one-handed release might be better than raping other inmates. Just a thought.
