Hell Froze Over

Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. has shown evidence of a conscience! No, regretably, they haven't spayed or neutered Bill O'Reilly or Sean Hannity. I didn't say that they had joined the human race. They've just sprouted a little leaf of a small amount of decency. O.J. Simpson has been denied his forum for...what? His memoir of that night? The only means open to him to make some real money? I don't even know what to call it.
Mr. Simpson was to give an interview, in anticipation of the publication of a book, that would tell how he murdered his ex-wife and a neighborhood waiter. If he had done it. I've already heard this story. It was called the trial of the century. Which proved only two things: if your prosecutors went to the Three Stooges' Law School, and if you have enough money, then in the good old U.S. of A. you can get away with absolutely anything.
Perhaps that pricipal has changed just a bit. Someone at Fox apparently decided that all of Rupert's billions couldn't buy them an excuse for putting an unconvicted, but nonetheless guilty, murderer on television to, again, torture the families of his victims.
Good taste from the Brit Hume and Greta Van Susteren crowd? Witness, friends, my proof for the existence of God!
