Some time ago, I stopped following Cathy and Court Chatter. I did it about the time I stopped listening to Jeff Gold on Spreecast. I found him horribly opinionated, a poor interviewer (reminiscent of Nancy Grace) and just plain obnoxious.
The only thing I read from Court Chatter are postings of documents.
Court Chatter has not made any bones about how they feel about the judge in this case and blame JSS for most of what they feel went wrong with this trial.
This bias seeps into almost every post they make.
It does nothing to encourage serious discussion but rather to fuel the fires of discontent - IMO.
I basically follow JMPS page and The State vs Jodi Arias - The Travis Alexander Trial page. I also read the Examiner articles, Just da Truth, and a few others.
I find these to report articles with facts to substantiate their postings. Of course personal opinions are occasionally made, after all they are humans with their own thoughts, but generally the Admins of these places encourage discussions and discourage vile, hateful posts. The two FB pages I follow always are mindful of the Alexander's feelings as well.
But I also know that these are not seasoned reporters who run these pages (with the exception of the Examiner) and they are just creating a forum for people to comment. I just find that by giving opinions like Cathy does on Court Chatter about JSS, only serves to fuel the fires that are burning.
Too many comments are just speculation to me and I take most of them with a grain of salt until there is proof provided.
I know, sounds like I am beating a dead horse, but proof is important, not just unfounded comments based on what people "think".
Again, here in this forum, every attempt is given to back up what people's thoughts are and that makes the interaction interesting and worth responding to, even when there is some disagreement.
