Comments on: Fox decides O.J. book/interview not such a good idea after all

OJ did not come forward to “confess”…….he wrote a book in which he puts forward a thinly veiled explanation of how the butchery would have taken place IF he had done it. He did this for reasons of fame and fortune, not to clear his conscience or “publicly admit guilt”.
What you refer to as “narrow mindedness” and “foolishness” is,in actuality, deference to good taste and moral outrage.
Oh, and Janice June? Jack the Ripper has been dead for years….what rock have you been living under?

Huh? Why in the world would you *NOT* want a murderer to confess???
Do you also wish to PREVENT other murderers from also coming forward and admitting their guilt????
Cases like Ramsey, Keen, Tupac, Crane, B.I.G, Zodiac Kill, Jack The Ripper.
Let’s prevent all those case from ever been solved. Smart.
Let’s ban *ALL* murderers from confessing… in writing… verbally… and on video tape.
I say *NOT* allowing him to confess publicly… would be “sick”, “unfair”, and “outrageous”.
Due to your narrow-mindedness and foolishness… he now will *NOT* admit his guilt on November 27, 2006.
Smart move, everyone.

Right decision, wrong reason. Point: FOX should not be given credit for suddenly growing a conscience.
I guess the end jusitifes the means here, though, since OJ’s attempt to regain the spotlight was ultimately thwarted, and the memory of the two people who were butchered by him won’t be further sullied by the publicizing of his supposed “theory” of how they died.

How sick is our society that someone actually thought this garbage was worth 3.5 mil in the first place?? For anyone (crickets) who still thinks he is not guilty of murder let it be known that he is guilty of horrible greed and narcicism.

Considering the crap Fox’s network aired over the years, I’m surprised. Guess they don’t want to burn in hell with O.J.
Financial decision or not, it’s a nice change of pace to see network execs listening to people for once.

For once, FOX got what they deserved: negative criticism.

Wow, is anyone else surprised that the corporation behind FOX News and When Animals Attack is actually on the side of good taste and, you know, basic human decency for once? THANK YOU!

They said on GMA this morning, that OJ got paid 3.5 million and he gets to KEEP the MONEY! So for him, it doesnt matter if anyone ever sees the damn thing, he still gets PAID! If Ron Goldman can legally, he should seize that money NOW! Im disgusted that this man makes money for this crap.

It may have been a financial choice instead of a moral one, but it was still the right one. This was a win for the American public, or at least the ones who screamed loud enough that we didn’t want to see this crap. And just when I was losing faith in us …
