IMHO- Say what you will about the media, it doesn't change the facts-
The media was not therre when KC alledgedly murdered her child.
The media was not there when KC dumped her child in the woods, to decompose all alone.
The media was not there when KC dumped her car, and lied about it having dead squirrels under it.
The media was not there when KC was hiding out where very few people knew where she was.
The media was not there when KC went from group to group of her (friends) that one group didn't always know about the other group/s.
The media was not there when KC made up the lie about having a nanny(which she couldn't even afford a nanny if she wanted one)
The media was not there when KC was stealing money and cashing other people's checks.
Get the picture- etc.etc.etc.
So is it fair to blame the media because the truth came out and the media did what it's paid to do by reporting it?
Is it fair to blame the media because this family keeps changing their stories?
Is it fair to blame the media when the family refuses to answer legit questions, and not just what the family wants to talk about?
Is it fair to blame the media just because the family is seeking and willingly accepting money from some media and not talking to those who refuse to pay them money?
There only certain people who cane be blamed for the media's deep involvement in this case- KC- for creating the situation - The parents- for becoming addicted to the attention- good or bad- but ever ready to blame everyone except the culprit. The defense team - for craving and creating a media circus because they would not go along with the prosecutors with a gag order -since day one.
Again- the media is not perfect- but- they did not kill anyone- they did not cover up a crime- no cover for the murderer- no falsely accuse the innocent- nor accept money -
The media only did what the media does in any news story- report whatever is going on-
So why should this case be any different than any other? We are not talking about celebraties, even if some think they are-but- even celebraties don't always get a break no matter how much money they actually do have.
The public and the media don't give two cents about KC nor her family-
It's only about Caylee- and how not only a mother who is accused of killing her little child and be so callous about it- but the family not only supporting the accused murderer, but appearing to assist in covering it up and lying and twisting the story over and over to aid the murderer.
This is the real story- the dysfunction of an alledged murderer and her family. It is beyond belief and anything acceptable in the human society.
The media is only reporting the going ons, they are not making it up.
The day KC committed her first crime, and the day CA called 911, it was no longer a private family matter- it was no longer in theirs to control- it became public information, and a problem for society as well. Therefore, they invited the media and the public into their home, the media and the public did not come knocking at their door asking to become invovled.
This country is based on freedom of the press, and freedom of speech- and NOT just what one person or a family thinks it should be- so give the media a break on this one-Enough innocent people have already been blamed-
