Covering up and giving passes to Oboma/Biden. The death of t.v. journalism.

renee buckler:

In my neighborhood they had a drug bust just 2 doors down and the 2 girls aged 10 and 8 are STILL living there. I told the DCFS about it. They said that as long as one parent or guardian is present and the childrens basic needs are being met, they can't do anything. Unless they are being physically or sexually abused or neglected, they have to stay in that house. The judges hands are tied on this one.

Spreading smears and lies about Sarah Palin, the Governor of Alaska and the first female candidate of the United States of America.

Are 13 year old girls online relly so stupid as to let a man into their home?are they?

And of course girls are sweet and pure; sex thoughts never cross their minds...wait a minute that would mean that Desperate... uh... slutty housewives,happy tree friends fangirls and...

Please investigate crooked judges.Children are living in homes and they don't want to be there. I can give you stories, several as a matter of fact if I can just get some one to lisen.Why does noboby care about our children anymore?Please contact me Please! Please! Does any one care?

I used to love this program but I think it has been hijacked by aliens these days! Keith Morrison looks like a skeleton and acts as if something really creepy is going on, even when it's not. When they began stretching the show to fit in 2 hours, the quality dropped. And some of the stories are just not that interesting. And, most of all, the way the latest episode was produced was just plain bad--all these still shots of the main character standing or sitting in a room and then fading out or disappearing; and then there were the shots of the scene moving along in freeze frames--I don't know how to describe it but it was just plain distracting. Why not just tell the story without overdramatizing every detail and repeating the whole thing after every commercial break? I miss the old Dateline that was an informational news magazine!

Dateline seems to have either retired the Predator series or (more likely) decided to put it on ice for awhile since it's been all over the news, and they'll let it cool down before starting it up again. Sure, it's always the same - guy walks into the house, girl says "Hey, there's cookies/sweet tea on the counter, help yourself, I have to go change/finish the laundry. Then here comes Chris, transcript in hand, and the pervert's jaw drops. "We weren't gonna do anything, just hang out and watch TV, I've never done anything like this before, I'm here to make sure she's okay since she's by herself..." (That last one is my favorite.) But it's entertaining TV and you have to love the oddballs like the guy who was busted and then a few weeks or so later was busted AGAIN. All he had to say was "Oops!" Don't drop the soap in the prison bathroom, buddy, you'll be saying a lot more than "oops". With summer coming up and kids being out of school and home alone, this'd be the perfect time to revive the Predator series again.

Stings like "To Catch a Predator" should be done in private because a lot of these perverts have wives and children, and they don't deserve to be humiliated as well! As usual, Dateline took a concept and ran it into the ground.

Apparently Dateline has given up on To Catch A Predator and is now focused on being a 48 Hours Mystery "we love stories about women murdered by their significant others or men they dated only once and he became obsessed" clone. Boo! Hiss! Boo! Hiss!

Dateline jumped the shark when Maria Shriver, Stone Phillips, Jane Pauley et al left. Before she was California's first lady, Maria did an excellent job reporting. Stone, Jane, Tom Brokaw and the other peeps also did well in terms of news reporting. When they left, it was pure shark fest.

Predator was entertaining at first, but it's gettin' old fast.

This is one of the best documentaries that I have ever seen. For repeat2x, I respectfully disagree with you. This show is an excellent way to let your children know what kind of sick people are on the internet. I personally hope it has a very long run.

How can anyone say this jumped because of catching online predators? That is the best thing going. In fact, if they had a Chris Hansen channel where all he did was catch predators all day, I would be all for this.

Yeah...uh...this message is to Jessie, the July 15 poster: I'm sure you've been arrested by now and are using your 45 minutes per day of internet access in the correctional facility for legal advice and getting your on-line law degree in preparation for your defense, and will likely never see this post. Despite that, I must say that Chris Hansen missed a hell of a story by not interviewing YOU.

Here's what I love about your post: On 90% of the To Catch a Preditor episodes, the males sitting on the bar stool talking to Chris Hansen are usually saying that they were there to "teach" the 13 y/o that the internet was dangerous. To show them "what could have happened".

Hey Jessie... Sound familiar? Hmmm. Been chatting up some 13 year olds lately? You are one glass of lemonade and a hot tub away from a visit by Senior Hansen and crew. Remember to lock your fingers behind your head when you go to your knees...

Jane Pauley leaving. Ever since the show has lost it's voice and direction. It's a mess now.
