re: #195 Obdicut


I thought that was what you were referring to when you spoke of the pool boy. Planning the murder of the pool boy is as you say still first degree.

As for the rest of your post, we seem to be in agreement. The press really shouldn’t be more focused on one vs. the other, unless one is more relevant to trend. In Canada, this was closely followed because 1) we do not have many quad homicides here 2) Our Multiculturalism policies put a premium on immigrants maintaining as much of their traditions and heritage as they would like. We are not a “meting pot” but a “mosaic” as it were. In that context the debate about whether a mulitculturalism policy does enough to address this issue is a relevant discussion to have (I myself thing multiculturalism as it exists is fine). My whole point was that Fox was covering it merely to show that Muslims are polygamous murderous misogynists which they and many of their viewers seem to believe. I still believe there is good reason (at least in Canada) to cover this story. I generally know when Fox picks up a Canadian news story there is ALWAYS a motive beyond the news.
