Well, not really…

Though you wouldn't know that if you listened to the Major Media spinning non-stories and made-up stuff into shocking and sensationalized headlines!

Among the fluff parading as Crime News this week; The stunning news that after reviewing over 30,000 pieces of evidence, a grand jury in Colorado has no idea who might have murdered the adorable little JonBenet Ramsey. We have no idea either -- What a mystery! But you don't see us leading our column with it, do you?

We're also not reporting that Nicolas Cage was in a car accident on Thursday in which neither he, nor the driver of the car he hit were injured in any way. He was not drinking, not doing drugs and not driving irresponsibly…His toupe was also not injured… And yet, this sensationalized non-story was the lead of many a newscast on Thursday night.

But alas, where are the real stories? Well, at This Week In Crime we've got your real stories right here…And, as usual, we don't need to sensationalize a thing…

As the days count down to the turn of the Millenium, rogues and ne'er-do-wells have already found a way to spin their criminal misdoings even before Y2K hits and all the power goes down and riots and destruction ensue and threaten to destroy the very world as we know it…But where are the calm and sensible warnings in the rest of the media?

In Hong Kong, a woman paid more than $15,000 to a couple of scurrilous miscreants for a bottle of pills that, they promised, would cure the "Y2K Bug"! This is of course, preposterous…There is no pill that can cure the "Y2K Bug"…Everyone knows that the only cure is an expensive and painful series of anti-biotic shots directly to the rectum… And believe me, I personally am well prepared!… But where is the coverage?

Even here in an earthquake shaken Los Angeles, the citizenry speaks of little more than the approaching hour of doom. This is clearly a frightened populace looking for -- nay -- demanding answers!
