Welcome to home base for my weekly crime and justice newspaper column. I’ve also begun an association with The Huffington Post where you can become a Dimond fan, leave a comment or start some buzz about my work.
My column first began appearing in the Albuquerque Journal - the hometown newspaper I grew up reading. You can find an archive here of all my past Crime and Justice columns as well as lots of other Diane Dimond projects – including my TV, radio and voiceover work.
This site is designed to help you think objectively about what you read, see and hear in the media especially about issues of crime and justice. I am a veteran of the journalism business - from radio to television to print. You can read all about my background here. My creed: always keep an open mind and don’t swallow the spinmeister’s message!
My columns here are varied. Sometimes I’ll simply tell you a story. Sometimes I’ll share my opinions, praise and criticism. I hope the columns will give you something new to think about each time you visit.
It’s a complicated world out there, full of situations of good versus evil, right versus wrong. My job is point them out.

Frankly, I do not agree with either. The talk-shows have run it into the ground the way they “dog” fellow americans. Seen one you have seen them all. Ratings is all that matters. Duh! It has become inflammable,
biased to the hilt. Like these talk show host’s believe they are sitting in ivory towers and passing down judgement on others. Should I say “thrones”? Talk shows are definately not part of our justice system.
What is so disgusting, these cases have not even hit the courts yet and
that is where they belong, not on nationwide tv with ex-prosecutors and journalists trying their best to try the case on tv. Their opinions at times are so disgusting. It has become extremely hard to watch and believe me the tv viewers are not stupid and can see right through it.
So why even waste your time to watch? Ramble on.

Pretty sharp website here Diane … Dr Blockbuster was even going to complement your web development work, until I notisched the small print below. :smiles:
Anyway … your action reporting has come to the attention of Dr Blockbuster on braveheart shores … can’t be bad. Now don’t you start siding with THEE Mr King who threw a “lame name” jibe at moi! Encroyable, c’est vrai!
Keep up the good work !!!

I liked your last column on the ex-CIA guy rescuing kidnapped children.
How about doing an article on how DUI checkpoints are unlawful and how the State of New Mexico are arresting people for DUI when they are under the legal limit of .08. People that get a DUI are treated worse than
child molesters.

Great article, as usual. You do a wonderful job. Keep it up!
