The Knoxville Horror: Covered Across the Pond by a Mainstream Publication - New England Patriots Forums

Again, give the Daily Mail credit.

Is political correctness to blame for lack of coverage over horrific black-on-white killings in America's Deep South? Tennessee Channon Christian Christopher Newsom carjack | Mail Online

The contemptible American MSM wouldn't touch this with a ten-foot pole, leaving the neo-Nazis to fill the void. Anyone who dares to bring the case to the attention of others is immediately castigated and vilified for his or her motives.

Yet, google (compare with James Byrd Jr. whose 1999 murder by white racists has many many more hits) shows that despite an avalanche of blog coverage, the MSM has been almost utterly silent on this hideous case of man being unspeakably inhuman to man.

Since when are some murders more newsworthy than others? Who determines this?

Didn't the MSM tell you ?

White on Black crime is a racist hate crime.

Black on White crime is an unfortunate isolated incident.

Wow, another race-based thread from State. Who saw this one coming?

Looks like in State's bizarre obsession with blackness he overlooked some rather important facts that probably played into editorial decision-making. Facts that are printed plainly in black on the page. (How does State miss something that's black? He's like a connoisseur of all things black (other than penises, one hopes).)

Quote:

‘There is absolutely no proof of a hate crime,’ said John Gill, special counsel to Knox County District Attorney Randy Nichols.

Quote:

‘It was a terrible crime, a horrendous crime, but race was not a motive. We know from our investigation that the people charged in this case were friends with white people, socialised with white people, dated white people.

Quote:

'So not only is there no evidence of any racial animus, there’s evidence to the contrary,’ he added.

Lots of murders go unreported.

I think there's a chance that there was some sweeping the story under the rug because of the race of the perpetrators. The Byrd murder is not a good case to contrast it with though.

I do believe that the MSM would rather report on white on black crime than
black on white crime.

On the other hand.......

If a little black or hispanic boy or girl is abducted, it get's very little media
attention.

If a little caucasion boy or girl is obducted, Nancy Graice has it on TV
every night.

Strange how it works....

Just out of curiousity, what exactly do you mean by that remark?

State's link and run posts exhibit an unusually high interest in and an unusually high rate of pejorative anecdotes about black people. The penises thing is just a joke (I hope).

He's got an unusual obsession.

Well, perhaps in trying to prove another individual's unusual obsession, you've also demonstrated one of your own.

Heh. I only have one obsession, and I try to get out of that whenever I can. It's tiring.
