CNN: Bringing in breaking news two weeks late

I watched CNN yesterday evening and there's a segment on Fred Phelps (click). A "journalist" rode along to one of Phelp's protests at a funeral of a servicemen. It is good that CNN paid so much attention to this powerful, outspoken, religious leader like it was groundbreaking eventhough this guy has been around for years. There was little mention of the Patriot Guard counter-protesting Phelp's gang of thugs. The Patriot Guard is a group of motorcycle enthusiants who request permission of the next of kin to attend the funeral. They gather with their bikes and escort the procession to the grave site as well as protect the mourners from the out cries of the protesters. You can all read it for yourself and if it doesn't draw a tear from you then you must be related to a rock.

Another segment was about the young woman raped and strangled in NYC. A woman took the side that this was a tragedy and another schmuck said "she was asking for it" just because she was drunk in a bar at 4 AM, thus this tragedy could have been 'prevented'. Little did they mention that the victim was studying criminal pyschology. So ladies, if you don't want to be a victim of rape, murder, or some sicko perv flirting with you, make sure you wear enough clothing to make you look fat, do not show any sign of cleavage, in fact, just don't go outside your home at all. Cover your face and walk 5 paces behind your husband, or your safety would be compromised and you might have a good chance of being the next victim. God, why does this sound familiar?
