You folks may have read about the horrible attack on the
homeless fellow, described by the press as having his face eaten. Yes, the
person who did this was shot and killed by a police officer after he refused to
stop the attack.
In our Oprah Society, what happened next?
Yes, you’re correct. The attacker’s girlfriend just had to get her fifteen minutes. And, in typical fashion for us, yes, she needed an attorney. Of course, we might ask, why would someone need an attorney to spend a few minutes on TV to tell what they knew about the attacker? Yes, you’re correct, there were of course no charges pending for this woman and of course there would be no way for any charges to be brought. But, yes…she needed an attorney.
And, of course, not just any attorney, yes, she needed Gloria Allred. You folks know old Gloria, don’t you? Yes, she’s like that whack-a-mole or what-have-you…in situations that are getting a little press time she pops up. And, in keeping with what you might call our junk society, what program does she appear on? Yes, good old Dr. Drew.
I guess we could ask whether knowing about her relationship with the attacker is news worthy. And, if it would actually give any insight into how something like the attack could happen, yes…it would be news worthy. Of course, we got no insight into anything.
How pathetic, old Gloria is in the studio with old Dr. Drew and the girl friend is across the country in another studio. Terrific. She surely didn’t pay Allred, so who arranged all of this?
Well, I guess this about sums it up; a hack lawyer who pops up whenever there is something out of the ordinary in the news, a doctor who should surely have something better to do than to interview the girlfriend of an attacker, and a woman who sought her fifteen minutes and got it. Was this the trifecta of bottom-of-the barrel pseudo journalism? Seems to be.
