Memo to Jane:
RE: TV News covaerage
While we get deluged with Terri Schiavo, what with special sessions of congress, multiple court cases, protesters holding vigils, out raged phone calls to talk radio - and all about a unique case, one single person.
Meanwhile, burried on page 462 of the press reports we find:
Every state, and the federal government, has a Web site with a list of sex offenders. According to the latest Bureau of Justice statistics, (he) is one of more than 386,000 registered sex offenders in the United States.
But those are just the ones who have been caught.
At least once a month we get headlines about some known sex offender comitting some heinous crime, yet we have no protests, no special sessions of congress, and few outraged phone calls to talk shows - where is the WE'RE MAD AS HELL AND WE AREN'T GOING TO TASKE IT ANY MORE outrage?
