Public interest or ratings?

While I'm not advocating wrapping kids in cotton wool and hiding them away from the real world I just don't see that it's necessary to publish as much *detail* regarding injuries etc. on the 6pm news when it is more likely that children will be overexposed to gruesome & graphic pictures and words.

How do you mean Jim? I'm not making a dig btw, I'm interested in why you say this.

Kids aren't partially formed adults. They need guidance, and most all need to know that their parents take them seriously and will discuss their concerns with them without ever belittling them.

Weatherston seems to me to be the product of an environment that has always cosseted his self image. I see little evidence of empathy and a great deal of remorse for the "damage" her actions have "inflicted" on him. Highly competitive, a big predatory fish in a small pond, playing with women who could be regarded as off limits by someone with a more finely developed sense of ethics, self awareness, and taste. But that may well be what a variety of media outlets want me to think.

I'm not very patient with disrespectful children. Weatherston reminds of kids who never say please and thank you and expect to call you by your first name without earning the privilege.

This guy should be all sorted by the end of today, maximum sentence for murder is the only acceptable outcome, in my opinion! Bastard!
