Related: About this forumFox News Decides to Help Duggar Family Sugar Coat Son's Molestation
I watched part of the Fox News interview on CNN with Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar. It was hard for Anderson Cooper and his two guests to keep from hurling all over the set. The headline on PoliticusUSA last Saturday was, "Fox Hits A Deplorable Low By Giving The Duggars A Platform To Explain Away Child Molestation." When you combine this degenerate family with Fox News, you know you won't get the true story but you don't expect to get the unbridled presentation of an obviously guilty family trying to say they aren't. Michelle Duggar said they were worried they had failed as parents with a straight face. Continuing:"Here we've tried to raise our kids to do what's right, to know what's right, and yet one of our children made some really bad choices and I think, as a parent, we were just, we were devastated," she told Megyn Kelly.
This woman is living in a delusional, fanatical, religious dream world if she thinks Josh Duggar just made "bad choices." Even "really" bad choices. A bad choice is when you put spiders in your sister's bed, not get in that bed with her and fondle her breasts and vagina. He even did this to his five-year-old sister. There is also some alignment of this family with Republicans running for President between both Jim Bob and Josh.
It is known that Josh was doing this for years, which included a family friend as well as his four sisters, reported it to his father at least three times, with the results that no action was taken and the statute of limitations was allowed to run out. An attorney on CNN indicated there might be some later episodes that still could be charged against Josh, perhaps including the father and mother.
The Duggar's TLC hit show "19 Kids and Counting" has been pulled from the air until further notice. There should be some way to get these culprits out of the normal population.
Later news.

Glad you're here! It's just disgusting. This whole sordid episode is just disgusting. I've only seen clips of the Pox Noise interview - I'm no fan of ANYTHING over there, including their Alpha Female Blonde megyn kelly. She's a complete joke. Newsblondes like her make me start to feel ashamed of that industry in which I worked and of which I was once so proud. She's nothing more than an ongoing cosmetics ad. This whole affair was - and is - pathetic from start to finish. It just makes me shake my head as we see YET AGAIN the efforts by craven demonstrable public nogoodniks to turn themselves into "The Victim." The willful wrong-doers somehow wind up being portrayed as the tragically wronged.
I, too, worked in the business but it had class in those days.
