News Filtered by Media --- Christian and Newsome Murders
WVLT News, Knoxville ^ | Feb 8, 2007 | Whitney Daniel, WVLT Staff

The major media has ignored this. Why did the Duke case get major coverage and this not?

Channon Christian and her boyfriend Christopher Newsom were out for a date in January 2007 when the couple were carjacked, brutally tortured, and raped before being murdered and dumped. Christopher was bound, stripped, and raped. While he was still alive his penis was cut off, then he was shot, and finally set on fire all while his girlfriend was made to watch. His body was dumped by a set of railroad tracks. Channon was kept alive and gang-raped repeatedly over the next four days. Her breasts were cut from her body while she was still alive, her mouth was sprayed with a bleach to remove DNA evidence, and finally she was killed and left to rot in a trash can.

Need you even ask ??? Crime is totally acceptable to the MSM, as long as it is committed by Democrat voters.

These sort of cases are bad for their business...so they excused themselves.

Major media ignored the Wichita rape/murders, too. There are savages among us.

It’s a dog bites man story. Nothing particularly newsy about it.

Illiberals won’t publicize it. Why, that might set off a wave of lynchings and bring back slavery!

Now... can we talk again about how the death penalty doesn’t prevent murder? (/sarc)

the are worse than savages, they are pure, absolute evil. I pray all these evil sub-humans get a speedy trial, and if found guilty, they should be hung in a public square. NO WAY should these people every walk among us again. Our country is being destroyed from within by the left. Scum like this is a product of "The Great Society" and other leftist indulgences. I was sickened reading the entire account. What a horrible way to die.

Sounds worse than what happened at Abu Ghraib but it’ll never be known by much of America. Attrocities happen. Some are more attrocious than others.

Once again, those who cry about white racism are hypocrites. They whine about Don Imus saying something crude but care not at all about horrific crime by blacks on whites.

Good point. I have not heard of this even though it was orginally scheduled as a Federal Case.

Best regards,
