Should the Media apologize to the country for putting us though four straight months of Gary Condit?

Now that we find out he was innocent all along. Does it matter that the MSM tortured the country 24/7 for four months chasing an innocent man around. So determined in the stalking that the only thing that stopped them was 9/11.

I know a lot of people think that Nancy Grace is the only person on TV able to drive people to suicide but back in the "Condit days" it was ALL of them.

Three cheers for the media. They are WRONG AS USUAL!

1. I remember those times.
I was trying to remember what other big story finally got them to stop talking about it. Do you remember what it was?

7. Really?
I thought it was 9/11 but didn't think it happened (the end of Condit coverage) during Bush's presidency.

5. and the Duke lacrosse players
Nancy Grace was too cowardly to even admit the innocence of the Duke lacrosse players. She took the day off from her show on the day they were cleared (declared explicitly "innocent" by the North Carolina AG).

That whole case was a major egg on the faces of the militant wing of the feminist movement.

8. Should frogs grow wings so they won't bump their asses when they jump?
That question has about the same outcome as yours.

9. They ought to apologize to Condit. I didn't care for the guy but they raked him over 24/7.
Journalistic objectivity lost out to the pack mentality.
