Default Re: \"Internet Gambling Illegal\" segment on CBS News\' 60 Minutes

This was pretty terrible stuff. 60 minutes has really started airing some poor programs. Aside from the legal issues regarding the differences between runnning a gambling site and being a gamble on that particular site, why are these journalists so opinionated? Should they really express value judgements such as "gambling is bad" on air? Sorry, she just failed journalism 101. A kid takes his dad's credit card and gambles? woopty do. Kids do many stupid things, this is just one of them.

Oh so they run this story about internet gambling and are basically saying gambling is "bad" and people have problems. OK.

Truly funny thing is, It was 60 minutes who ran a big story about the poker explosion several months ago and had some poker celebrities (Negreanu, J harmon etc) on and they basically glorified the whole thing.

Gee, talk about degenerate, you should see what I do at my dayjob. Thats criminal. lol.
