ABC Sucks

mysinglemomlife.com — Cat was interviewed by ABC for a piece about cyberstalking. The final edit left a great deal to be desired. Cat is a strong woman who wants tough cyberstalking laws and is not afraid to speak out about her own situation. The ABC story implies that she is hiding and quaking in her boots, which is absoluitely not true.

Now they are resorting to coverings nonsense crap like Michael Jackson. They don't want to provide balance news and report what people are really saying and their ratings are going down the tubes because of their blatant ***** that they are trying to pawn off as the truth! The The Daily Show and Colbert Report rating are also falling because they are way off basis from the American public. While Fox news that is the only broadcasting network that has the ability to speak for the people has had its ratings go threw the roof by exposing the crooks like Van Jones and Acorn for the scumbags that they are!

    You're reading WAY too much into this. Even having read the blog post first (direct link to the ABC story above), I don't see where they're making anyone out to be "quaking in their boots".

    It's a short article and, frankly, I don't think anyone wants to read the transcript of a 2.5 hour interview with a mommy blogger. It's another example of someone being harassed for what they've said online... no one needs to know the details and, frankly, the more detailed it becomes, the less interested people are going to be.

    FTA:
    Kathleen Cooper, a single mom in Florida, never thought responding to a post on a friend's blog would bring on five years of online harassment.

    "In the beginning, they were just cruel comments," Cooper said. "Then he started threatening me with child protective services, saying I beat my children. Then he was calling the police for abusing my children."

    With her family's safety in jeopardy, Cooper went to the police. As in so many cases of cyberharassment, authorities did not take the threats seriously.

    "I think it will take a blogger being killed before law enforcement will take action," Cooper said.
  • lucyblue, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1Wow, what a rotten example of how awful the public media has become. :(
  • FrankRenshaw, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1Shows you the kind of people in charge of the media now !
  • Foundyouout, on 10/11/2007, -1/+0Nothing libellous about what I post "Frank" and you know. I'm simply reacting to your sad attempts to promote your "organisation" which, of course, is run by well known BNP supporter Albert Hurwood. I remark upon how Albert runs a site that bears similarities in form and content to a BNP propaganda site.I point out how the tactic of recruiting vigilantes to form "active groups" to "confront the yobs" is also very similar to the BNP "patrols" in Wiltshire. I point out how vigilantism is, by definition, outside the law. And I point out that your little internet campaign has already seen you banned from Newsquest sites for political agitation.

    As you are such a champion of free speech I'm sure you will support my right to point out these facts.
  • mskat, on 10/11/2007, -1/+0ABC is deleting my comments. I am leaving a link to my cyberstalking story, and they keep deleting it. This is censorship!!
    They have also deleted the comments of others who post to the article in support of me.
    Tell ABC censorship is wrong.

  • justj0000lie, on 10/11/2007, -1/+0Where is this ABC forum where they keep deleting the comments?
  • mskat, on 10/11/2007, -2/+0http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/Technology/comments?type=story&id=3104264

    I have now had 6 comments deleted, and have seen 3 others peoples comments get deleted.
  • FrankRenshaw, on 10/11/2007, -2/+0I have also experienced cyberstalking on here !
    Someone calling himself "foundyouout" continually posts libellous and defamatory messages because I and others belong to an organisation called the National Vigilante Organisation.
    I and others have complained about his activities but nothing has been done by Digg.
    Which is why we rarely post on here now.
    But I totally agree with you that such activities should be illegal !
