I agree about the news being bias and like the national enquirer.

I was pretty naive about the news, I thought if nothing else, whatever the news did report would be somewhat accurate, if nothing else so they would not be sued, until, a co-worker was killed by her ex husband.  The news media on all channels, only talked to "his" brother and made her seem like some kind of whore, and his brother was some poor guy that had been wronged, that did this on the spur of the moment.

They didn't go into why she finally divorced him after years of him cheating, abandoning the family when he did, and made me wonder how they could slant it as a crime of passion, he didn't walk in and find a wife in bed with someone, she was his ex, and he followed her and her boyfriend to not one but two cities, lie in wait for them to come out of the hotel, and brought a kitchen knife from home.  After he stabbed her he ran over her....looks like he had plenty of time to "think" about things.

The media, didn't even try to talk to any one in her life, and I know some that called the station that tried.  And taking the brother's word?  he is a guy convicted of stalking and spousal abuse himself.

hell, they didn't even get her age right....not one of the stations or the paper.

Really? I just saw it as a 6-year-old child who wanted to get off his father's lap, nothing more. Remember that it's hard for a child that age to sit still for long periods of time

Yep, but I contrasted with the other two brothers who sat mostly pretty still, remarkably controlled . . . . . I expect a moderate & growing amount of fidgetting from younguns, especially the jostling between siblings stuff escalating with boredom, of which there was virtually none . . . . .

i noticed this too. The interview would have been as boring as hell for those kids and they should have been at least a little fidgety. Instead they looked oppressed.

That, & the suppressed annoyance I'm pretty sure I saw under the non-emotion mask Dad seemed to have on . . . . . & I am a cynical vigilante type about reading family dynamics, it's true ... . . . Dad was setting off my squirrely meter big time . ... . & Falcon really seemed to have a kinda triumphant attitude, an I'm-getting-away-with-stuff energy . . . . . .

Yeah, the fact that he's this pissed points very strongly in only one direction - that it was a hoax....
