Drew Peterson, the cop eyed in the recent disappearance of his fourth wife and the death of his third sat down for an exclusive on camera interview with Today. Over the weekend, he talked to Fox News' Geraldo Rivera inside his home, after Geraldo cold-called him. Geraldo then went on Today on Monday, touting his interview.
But according to Drew Patterson:

He asked me to tell my story, and as I tell my story he says, "Well, say it like this, say it like this." Everything he said wasn't even my words.

Here's Drew, who expressed a great deal of disgust at the media, more than anything else, talking to Matt Lauer:

On a separate note, Drew didn't win any female supporters when he blamed his wife's moods on her menstrual cycle:

From NBC, 11/14

This man is guilty until proven innocent. This is modern-day America, ain't it.

People- please pay attention to how all these plays out. Mary Winkler killed her pastor husband. She walks. Another nut-job woman in Texas drowned her children. She walks. A woman gets to walk free, no matter her crime, and particularly if she kills a member of her family. The cry-me-a-river media is always on board to blame it on emotional/physical abuse or postpartum distress. The pussyfication of the judicial system, no doubt.

Clearly, George Bush is behind the disappearance of these four women.

Drew stated that Geraldo "coached" him as to what to say...O.K.­. Who coached Geraldo ? Most everything that comes out of his mouth (and his 'investigative(?) reporting') is hard-to-believe anyway. He's as empty headed as Al Capones' safe !

I'm not a big Geraldo fan, but are you gonna believe this sociopathic multiple wife-murdering cop? Alleged, I mean to say.

Geraldo and Drew are just alike.

What a piece of work and Geraldo calls himself a reporter it makes me sick. As much as Fox news makes me sick.

If he doesn't want to be judged by the public
he should stay in his house and shut his mouth.
He's asking for it if he on appears on TV.

What an idiot!

The cops had been called to his house 84 times for domestic violence. No what do you think?

Of course he kills them. Once he knows they are going to leave him.

I think the guy killed Kennedy (boffum) and kept the rain from falling in Georgia. Nuke him! You vicarious bloodlusters crack me up.

The guy could well have done it, but once again this a high profile case with an attractive white female is being trotted out for the public to be tried in the court of public opinion. Lacy Peterson, Nicole Simpson, Jonbenet Ramsey...

Guilty or not, the media knows that the public will have the Pavlovian response that we have been trained to have. Outrage, shock, disgust. But what is telling here is what we don't immediately see. Like how this sort of "local story" gets front page treatment and keeps our collective eyes off the war in Iraq, the economy and the shameful state of health care in this country. And even if one was to somehow conclude that this type of story merits attention, how come we NEVER hear about abused women of color, only attractive white women?

There is something sick and twisted how so many get collectively worked up about such an incident so remote from their lives. I would hazard to guess that there is some strange psychosexual gratification by the viewer in the way these stories gain such traction amongst the American public.

I don't know whether he's a murderer or not but one thing for sure, he's a really stupid dick head to agree to appear on Fox.

Does this idiot have a lawyer?
