Why nothing about Shawna Forde on cable news today?

[dorkulon]

I didn't expect a huge push, but I thought I'd see something.

1. Good question. n/t

[Tangerine LaBamba]

2. Probably because there's no news..........

There's always a quiet time between the arrest and the arraignment.

Don't worry - no one forgot her....................

[dorkulon]

3. I haven't seen anything prior to today either.

Story broke when, Saturday?

[Tangerine LaBamba]

7. It was EVERYWHERE when it broke -

I can't imagine you missed it.

Pretty horrible. It got lots of coverage...............

[dorkulon]

8. Hmmmm.

When was this? I'm surprised I missed it too.

[Tangerine LaBamba]

9. Maybe this will help you ..............

It's on DU's front page right now.

I have no idea how you missed it, but I do hope this catches you up, and you're able to get the information you want.................

[dorkulon]

10. I know it was in the papers

And I know what facts are out there. I'm talking about TV. If it doesn't make TV, it might as well never have happened.

[Tangerine LaBamba]

11. You're welcome .........

Just trying to help was reward enough ................

[dorkulon]

12. Sorry if I'm being insufficiently gracious

I appreciate the effort. I'm just specifically interested in what TV coverage the story's gotten. Thanks anyway.:hi:

4. Uh, innocent until proven guilty

So, uh, they're not going to sensationalize this by, you know, trying the case in the media. Wouldn't be fair to the defendant. Don't want to, er, rush to judgment.

Nope, I can't see Nancy Grace saying this, either.

[dorkulon]

6. lol

Right, and she, er, she wasn't really right wing, she, er--she was a registered Democrat! Yeah that's the ticket.

[spanone]

5. k&r for some 'splainin'

13. Seems like the woman is always in the middle of trouble:

Forde was born in Everett and wound up in foster care as a toddler. Her adoptive mother, who was interviewed for this story on the condition that her name not be published, said Forde was deeply troubled when she joined her family at 4. The girl became a source of turmoil, repeated mental health treatment efforts and attempts at intervention, she said. Forde was taken into state custody when she turned 12 after being convicted of burglary.

"She had sticky fingers from Day One," the woman said, recounting how Forde at 7 stole a diamond necklace valued at several thousand dollars from family friends during a dinner visit at their home. snip

14. Yikes.

I'm guessing her early childhood was not much fun. Sad.

[Ilsa]

15. Very sad, but looks like the development of a psychopath, maybe? nt
