First off let's get this straight, who is the media?  The media is print reporters, print editors, television reporters and editors. The media are tv personalities that host shows and want to offer opinion on modern events although no one asks them for their opinion. The media are radio personalities offering opinion blended from facts. 

Our modern media seems to feel "opinion" and "facts" are interchangable.  I read articles that state "... but I will tell you that I think the idea of Stewart going to jail is preposterous."

Well thank you Roger Friedman, you've been helpful. 

With comments like that I'm distanced further from modern media. 

Let me get this straight, because some people get away with breaking the law, Martha Stewart should too?    For me accountability knows no bounds.  Am I personally happy that Martha Stewart may well do jail time?  No.  But I am happy to see that finally a jury has seen through the smoke and mirrors of FEELINGS and done what had to be done.  The found a person guilty that is in fact guilty. 

How can the modern media not see that?  Since when do I ask reporters to tell me a guilty person is not accountable?  Better yet, since when did they become qualified to be a judge? 

Again, I stress I don't have it in for Martha Stewart.  I don't know her.  Meanwhile I think it is silly that people discount her abilities and want to shun her.  Look at Viacom, dumping her show just days after her guilty verdict: http://www.nbc11.com/money/2903882/detail.html

What does her show have to do with this? 

Should she goto jail?  I think the law should be upheld.  I'm sorry it has to finally start with Martha Stewart but if that is where it has to begin, then so be it.

Reporters need to hear most of America.  They don't hear me, they only hear people that don't believe in traditional values such as Rosie O'Donnel. I consider her media at this point and she calls herself media in this quote: "All of us in media should step back from the bitch-hunt and come to Martha's defense."

In Rosie's case of values they are "redefined" values. This way anything she says can be right by her standards.  Rosie calls justice for Martha Stewart a "bitch hunt."  She must not have meant the jury whom said they felt pity for Martha but felt they made the correct decision in the case: http://www.wric.com/Global/story.asp?S=1694994

A strong or loud minority in America have warped values. I don't think they have children otherwise they'd rethink things before they popped off with comments adn opinions that don't represent most people.  In fact, as I mentioned, I don't want their opinion.   They are out-of-touch.
