Zero hour, Michael. It's the end of the line. I'm the firstborn. I'm sick of playing second fiddle. I'm always third in line for everything. I'm tired of finishing fourth. Being the fifth wheel. There are six things I'm mad about, and I'm taking over.

Perfect example of the media selling news.

I believe I've passed the age of consciousness and righteous rage
I found that just surviving was a noble fight.
I once believed in causes too,
I had my pointless point of view,
And life went on no matter who was wrong or right.

yeah, it was all media.  the cops had no part in that

Didn't say it was all the media.  Of course the FBI named him as a suspect, but it was as if the dude was guilty without the benefit of a trial.  Remember the interviews they had with people that allegedly "knew" him?  He was slammed by everyone.

It would be like you being named a suspected serial killer and the media showing up to my front door for my opinion of you.   ;D

the first paragraph

QuoteATLANTA, Aug. 29 — Richard A. Jewell, whose transformation from heroic security guard to Olympic bombing suspect and back again came to symbolize the excesses of law enforcement and the news media, died Wednesday at his home in Woodbury, Ga. He was 44.
