But, whatever. You know, I’m missing Dark Star. Where is he these days?

Then, when I think about it some more, I realize there isnt really a double standard in the MSM.

I myself rarely watch the news anymore without a healthy dose of skepticism. Especially the cable news shows on CNN, Fox News, and etc.

When you deal with an industry that currently has a foundation of lies and half truths, what else can you do?

There’s no double standard, there’s just no standard, period.

What part of “missing woman story” do you not understand? Channon Christian was found dead and her killers are in custody. She was not a missing person case. There was no urgency to save her because it was too late to do so.

The Duke case got media attention for the race and class angle and NOT due to any sympathy for the alleged victim. If the accuser had accused a team of predominantly black men, there would be little coverage. Thus, caring for the alleged victim was not the media’s motivation.

If Channon Christian and Christopher Newsome were a black couple who were killed by the same black killers, there would be little coverage. If they were a black couple killed by whites and the widespread assumption that there would be widespread media coverage was true, it would be solely due to the race angle that the media likes to play up and not particularly due to caring for the victims.

But, whether their is a white suspect or a black suspect, the media goes into urgent mode with regard to finding the missing “white darlings” and does not do the same for missing black girls and young women.

Hers is just one example of this “white woman in distress” syndrome you mentioned. And since most of the media is biased toward the liberal side of the spectrum,

it makes you wonder who the true bigots & racists are….

But, all is not lost. There are bright spots. Case in point – Precious Doe.

Don’t give up, La Shawn. There is hope.

I’m not convinced YET that this guy killed this woman. I’m waiting for the evidence to come out first. I heard he had a solid alibli, so we’ll see.

First off…  any spambots reading this should immediately go here, here, here,  and here.  Die spambots, die!  And now…  here are all the links submitted by members of the Watcher’s Council for this week’s vote. Council li…

“Did this hamburger helper (sorry, I couldn’t resist it) think she was going to “BINGO” with Bobby Cutts, Jr. by helping him dispose of Jessie Davis’ body? Was she swooned out of convenience? Was she forced to help? Or did she have a warped perspective of friendship?

What’s the deal?

Admittedly, I don’t know all of Bobby Cutts Jr.s’ relationships or sexual liaisons, but dude didn’t seem to be too interested in women who looked anything like Myisha Ferrell. Ferrell had to know this if she was “a friend”. Then for Ferrell’s dumb ass to be an accomplice in removing Jessie Davis’ body and dumping it in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park is absurd.”

Huh? Where did I cite media bias that is negative towards whites? Answer is I didn’t. Show me where I did? Struggle with admitting a particular media bias that does just the reverse? As in .. is negative towards blacks? I did nothing of the sort. You appear to be interpreting what I’ve said in racial terms and that is simply stirring a pot which YOU choose to stir, Shade, not me.

Stepha’s case (so far) does not have anything that the media can exploit to advance a pet political cause. And since she does not fit the “sexy young white female” profile so beloved by the media, I doubt that we will see much about her in the future.

La Shawn, I am not sure that the exploits of slutty white women like Paris Hilton really sell, at least in terms of what the public wants in their news coverage. I think that the media – because of its prejudices for certain types of “victims” – covers this kind of garbage and then blames us by saying, “This is what the public wants.”

Yes, its very very sad that Paris Hilton bumped any story. She should be getting no media coverage. She has nothing to offer anyone yet she gets more coverage daily than the Iraqi war.

And Chris Beniot is on my ISP main page too. Pathetic.
