Sometimes the media is so ridiculous

    it's just funny.

    Today the Inglewood case came to a conclusion, sort of.

    For the cop up on assault (under the color of title) there was a hung jury - the jury couldn't reach agreement.

    So, what was CNN's poll question: "Do you agree with the verdict?"

    Now I ask, what the hell kind of question is that? How many people said, "yes, I think it should've been a hung jury, I agree." What a stupid poll question. Anyone who has an opinion will disagree whether they think the verdict should be guilty or not guilty. What do they expect to learn from the polling numbers?

    This one is just great, I'm still giggling.

    I saw that too. What I thought was even funnier was how our beloved (and soon to be fired) Gov. Gray davis on CNN commenting about the case. he has never said one word about it, but now that the recall is coming, he's offering opinions on stuff.

    Political pressure, I guess.

    Hey, all those reporters and media-guys somehow have to make their living. :p
