Posted by SLRT on Wed Sep 21 20:46:22 2011, in response to Execution Carried Out, posted by SLRT on Wed Sep 21 20:03:53 2011. Actually the point I find most interesting is how the media determines the importance of news. A man was just executed who committed one of the most horrific crimes in modern times, one that stained the conscience of millions, that even figured in a Presidential Campaign, where Bush was virtually accused of being a party to the crime (he was Governor of Texas when the crime occurred and he was also Governor when the two men were sentenced to death) and yet this fulfilling of justice was barely on the media radar.In point of fact, I wouldn't have known that this execution was set for today, if not for an article in NPR. |
