They are reporting that RA is "barely 5 feet" ???? What a load of bunkum. He is 5 feet 5 inches in his most recent mugshot. This just makes me mad.
I think that's about where I left off, that article and I was reading backwards by then, up from the most recent post.
I don't even have the words for the reporting. I actually thought I was seeing some good reporting and I guess some is as far as traditional news goes. I don't know. I am not going to catch up and I can't keep up with nightly Tom's either as much as I want to and that's what I would do if I could at this point.
The things being reported by the less than responsible ones are so not accurate and the ones by the responsible ones are lacking SO MUCH and just hitting what they think is key.
I guess this is what happens when we don't have anything live or reporters or even responsible YTers like Nate (and yes he is also a YTer, not just a news person) able to type times and notes all day and tweet out etc. even if they can't until break and then they also don't lose their darned SEATS.
We are used to basically question to answer coverage of each witness pretty much even when we can't watch. And believe me even then you are not getting the whole story. I've went and watched witnesses I've read Nate's Tweets on in the Daybell trial you were so great about posting each day, I kept up on breaks by reading those but if you actually then go watch the witness (or hear them since they didn't show them by camera) testify, you will learn things even Nate missed... There is NOTHING like watching the actual testimony yourself. And plenty including myself when I can't do that base their comments and opinions on the coverage and what they think is what happened and never watch or even TRY to watch a single witness if live anyhow...
As to most traditional news or reporters maybe they need to stick to what they are really here for any longer and made to do and that is to give biased political coverage and cover only politics. I've been done with such for a long time but often that's all we have and in this case it certainly is and they just are not someone trying to get out ALL of what is going on in the courtroom.
I really want to stay up with discussion here because we all care about it and have for a long time and waited for this but it's just not accurate coverage. That's on no one here. I feel like I'm hearing 2 different cases and watching two different cases as of last night. I was starting to notice it the night before...
I'm not touting Tom to tout Tom. I don't think he even realized what I am seeing. He's NO crime follower in general and I think this is the first trial he has ever watched, seriously. He is astounded by things like any newbie to a courtroom. BUT he is the type that is giving every single question and answer of a witness, every objection, every by play. It's just who he is and how he is. I know of no one else doing that nightly. Whether he will be able to keep it up I don't know and I already can't keep up even if I just only watched him and did not try to catch up with everyone here who I want to with because we all care about this case.
I'd even have to go back to finish my remarks on that last article, the one I am responding to here.
While it is far from accurate, they say more than many have.
I've been done with traditional news for more years than I can count and if I wanted to be reminded of some of the reasons, I have been, in spades. And I was done before most even realized what was going on and I'm not talking in here, I'm talking out in the world. And for good reason.
I come from maybe one of the last generations who everyone above us and our parents considered news to be fact. News is NEWS and let me tell you my mother is still that way. IF the news channels she watches says it, then it is fact.
And I don't care which one one is talking of or their slant even in politics, it isn't the purpose, to report truth. And they are failing and have been for a long time. It is like how many people go to the theater any longer to see some box office hit? Actually how many are there these days you'd bother with...
People like Vinnie, Nancy Grace, and even some MSM are learning late in the game to do the YT angle or other things but they are still ingrained with the sensational, not up on their facts and more. Nate is quality. Tom is quality. One has to pick their sources. Grizzly is a hard pass. She started out seeming to be but she's not. I could go on.
I don't even know my point any longer other than even what I said and meant about what is good reporting here by a few, better than most, and no bias, is not nearly what is going on in that courtroom. And they HAVE to DO that. Get something out, and LATE due to Gull's rules, and pick the short and best points or only do the length they can get out.
Then we hear the excuses it's not the only thing they have to cover. True. It's hard because they have to hand write and BE THERE or get NOTES from someone from their network that is THERE. True. And then form an article and pick and interpret or even from their own notes or memory. True. And they have lives and kids or whatever. True. And the world or trial does not stop for them or their schedule. True.
But then you have Tom who jumps on live with all of his notes and fresh memory and goes through it all each night. I don't know if he will be able to keep it up but it's like hearing an entirely different case. And he is just giving the questions and he answers in testimony.
And then back to news you have the ones, the less responsible that are twisting. That thing of how the eyewitnesses said everything RA is NOT is so misleading. Go listen to the actual questions and answers. Well we can't, but you can hear someone cover them question by question and answer by answer.
I have waited for this as we all have and my God, the families and I honestly never thought I'd say this but I'm not sure I am going to be able to continue it and I was committed to this one. I'm sure a few are happy to hear that lol.
I'm going to try to a point to discuss here but as of right now I am not caught up and don't intend to try and I feel reading links and news anyhow are not going to give me a full or even close to it picture and I'm not going back and I'm not reading every link. I was doing so but I am finding such a contact with full coverage and traditional news that again I feel like I am reading or watching two different cases.
And this part is going to sound like a broken record but what Gull did here is such a disservice to this entire case as to facts and coverage, even for family who maybe can't be there. And has created nothing but trouble. I even have to agree with
@Cousin Dupree on this one it is a bad look. I don't tend to believe it was done for the same reasons but I'm not decided either. The people in court can't even hear some of the questions and answers so the 4 mill plus really made it great didn't it...
I can tell you this too and I think I said it or alluded to it last night, the defense is testifying as all do. They put false facts in their questions. I gave the example of when you were in Dodge why didn't you do this, but you were never in Dodge. That's what they did with the younger witness. I didn't even finish listening to Tom give every question and answer as it sent me so over the top I was done and of course no hint of that anywhere here. And again that's not at anyone here, it is at the coverage by news.
It's like back to the fly or critter thing as well. We are simply getting a blizzard of b.s. and putting false facts in questions and if anyone wonders why I detest defense attys for the most part well there ya go. It shouldn't be a game and a Hollywood fake drama, it's people's lives on both sides. And then one has reporters and the public who can't see between the lines and beyond such tactics. And it also assumes the jurors can't and are dumb.
I'd say most reporters are. Thankfully most jurors that would give up their time probably know better, anyone younger would be ranting about they can't serve because the hours and time needed don't revolve around their schedule or that of their kids and not want to serve.
Okay. It turned into a rant and I've read not a thing.
I may well let this trial go on, end and then go back and watch all of Tom at my leisure over the next year or so and that bites as I waited for this as we all have. IF he makes it through.
Imo this should end traditional news, much should have by now. Let them just stick to the paid agenda. And again, here have been some pretty good reports, considering it is traditional news but it is nowhere CLOSE to full coverage.
