Self-Confessed Child Killer is Getting Too Much Press: Media Rewards Karr By Giving Him the Attention He Craves

The media frenzy surrounding self-confessed killer Mark Karr is ridiculous, way overblown and utterly retarded.

They're going to all look ridiculous if it turns out he's simply an attention craving lunatic who confessed to the killing of JonBenet Ramsey simply to get his fifteen minutes of fame. Thanks to the media circus, it's become much worse than the circuses surrounding the OJ Simpson case, the Nancy Kerrigan/Tonya Harding skating fiasco, the Michael Jackson trial, and about two dozen lesser cases.

If it turns out he did kill JonBenet, then the media has simply splashed the face of a child killer into millions of homes around the world, repeatedly, 24 hours a day.

The media ought to take a breath, step back, and examine what they're doing by having their cameras trained on this individual, who is a liar at best and a murder and rapist of children at worst.

It's going to inspire copycats to confess to other crimes that they didn't commit, just to get their faces on TV and their names in the newspapers, and it's going to waste law enforcement resources and time to sort it all out.
