"Conservative FOX News commentator Tucker Carlson thinks that Michael Vick(notes) should have been executed for running an illegal dogfighting ring. Carlson made the stunning comment while guest-hosting Sean Hannity's show on Tuesday. The topic was Barack Obama's phone call to Philadelphia Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie"
It wasn't always this way. At one point there was actually honor and virtue when it came to reporting the news. Now it's all about ratings. The dumbing down of America continues unabated.
The reporting of news long ago was the beginning of the dumbing down. Twenty minutes a day of news pablum does not inform a nation.
And biased news, regardless of the 'age' or source does not constitute any honor or virtue.
Obviously, the canine rights of dogs are superior to the individual, especially if that individual is human.
If we don't nip it in the bud, we might have people (shudder) eating dogs!

Being human as an adult includes the ability to behave in a humane manner. Vick failed on that level, repeatedly. Do I believe he deserved to be executed? No. Do I believe he should have been bound in such a manner he was unable to defend himself and left to the abused pit bulls on his property to be mauled however the dogs were so inclined: yes, actually, I do.
Frankly, I don't see Carleson's statement as any more shocking than some of the garbage that comes out of the mouths of Chris Matthews, Rachel Maddow, or Keith Olbermann on a regular basis.

Non-story. Tucker is just looking to make some noise. I can't image anybody's ratings being lower than MSNBC's bigoted duo of Olberman/Maddow but maybe Tucker needs the publicity?
Personally I think a better comeuppance would be for Vick to be mauled by a gang of wild pitbulls. sic 'im!
