Fox News Murderabilia Stories Mislead Viewers?

100+ MORE examples of Fox News Bias at http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=A3BD2524FE99BD4D

Even though Fox News ran several stories about the "'Stop the Sale of Murderabilia to Protect the Dignity of Crime Victims Act of 2010" last Friday, none of the stories accurately informed viewers about either the scope of this proposed "murderabilia" law or the source of its likely potential legal challenges as I show in this video.

The Fox News clips I use in this video come from segments on the supposed straight news programs "America's Newsroom," "America Live" and "Special Report," all broadcast on June 18, 2010, with the 3 segments from which I took my clips available at the following 3 links:

The image I show of the text of the "'Stop the Sale of Murderabilia to Protect the Dignity of Crime Victims Act of 2010" cosponsored in the US Senate as S.3468 by Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) and Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) is from http://www.opencongress.org/bill/111-s3468/text

And, finally, the image I use of the Supreme Court case overturning NY's "Son of Sam" law, Simon & Schuster v. Crime Victims Board, 502 U.S. 105 (1991), is from http://docs.justia.com/cases/supreme/502/105.pdf

I like the word murderabilia.

[Zyworski]

As a general rule I am opposed to rules that 100% deny prisoners the ability to raise money because it creates a mindset of hopelessness and diminishes a sense of self-worth to the point where the criminal could be more dangerous upon getting out than when they went in. The thought of a millionaire convict is repulsive, but a penniless one is a man without hope, and hope is an instrument of rehabilitation. The devil in the details is what percentage should they be allowed to keep., I say < 10%.

I love Fox News!!!

Why not make it impossible for inmates to profit from the sale of stories of their crimes and incarceration? The stories themselves may be important to understanding their psychology, but they shouldn't be rewarded for committing a crime.

You argue till you are blue in the face about the 'rights' of this person or the 'rights' of that person to explain away or hide the true reason behind the real REASON why this issue, the sale of ANE criminal memorabilia, is happening....MONEY! As with many other things in this world Murderabilia and other sites like it have put decency and diminished morals aside all in the name of MONEY!

@krstcmjns Sounds like it'd be a good band name. Goth or Black metal or something (not that i'm a huge fan of that genre but it fits.)

If no one watched fox news then they would'nt have any impact

[Captain077]

Ya, both FOX News and MSNBC are full of bias and lies. Both of them can go to hell as far as I am concerned.

[Zyworski]

On the face of it to stop criminals from profiting off their crimes after the fact by writing a book or whatever may seem like a good idea. If 90% of the royalty's from a tell all book go to victim compensation, to prohibit the sale would deny the victim or victims family the ability to receive compensation. Confession and repentance should be the ultimate goals of justice and by dissuading the ability to confess and repent in textual form that goal is undermined.

Look at the chyron.

You lose. Good day, sir.

While I haven't yet had a chance to read the entire proposed law, I do commend you on presenting your opinion without resorting to crazy rants or name calling. You presented facts and got me thinking. Might have to watch some more of your videos, because this one was very well done.
