It was bloggers who undermined CBS anchorman Dan Rather's 2004 report about President Bush's National Guard service, digging up evidence that the documents may have been forgeries.

We all know what 'bloggers' did that, don't we.

May?

Right. And the sun just "may" rise tomorrow.

That was done and settled. Absent a time machine or divine intervention, there is no way those documents could possibly have been genuine. And they all know that, but they can never admit it.

This article is just another lame-stream, mealy-mouth attempt to blather over what everyone with half a working brain cell knows is the truth.

White on black crime? STOP THE PRESSES!!!

Black on white crime? Move along, nothing to see here...

“Internet has opened up the mainstream media to intensive second-guessing, “

How dare they! We are the MSM and we are the truth and the light. How dare you question us or our motives.

Why, even our lies are pure!

The Knoxville Horror: The Crime and the Cover-Up

Nicholas Stix, Special to AR News, May 14, 2007

On Saturday, January 6, 2007, Channon Christian, 21, and Christopher Newsom, 23, of Knoxville, Tennessee, went on a date from which they would never return. On their way to the home of another couple, they were carjacked and kidnapped. Over the next 24 hours they were beaten, gang-raped, tortured, and murdered.

If Channon Christian and Christopher Newsom had been black and their killers white, everyone in America would know their names. Because they were white and their killers are black, their fate has been shrouded in a thick silence that has given rise to a host of gruesome rumors. Their story highlights the strange and twisted nature of race relations in America.

The men who kidnapped and killed Channon Christian and Christopher Newsom have not yet gone to trial, so they are theoretically innocent. This account is based on documents filed in federal and state courts, and on sometimes-vague allegations in news reports......

The details of this case are horrifying: rape, torture, and murder in a medieval fashion. All five defendants should get the death penalty immediately upon conviction.

"The critics include mainstream conservatives, such as the National Review, and white supremacists."

I love how they sneak this line in there, insinuating that if you are a critical of their handling (or lack thereof) of this story, you just may be a white supremist.

I'd like to see this country collectively agree that all crime is hate crime, and just leave it at that. Why anyone hates isn't important, especially when it comes to punishment.

Yet some arrogantly believe that if they understand the "why", they will be able to prevent evildoers from perpetrating their acts of violence. I'm mostly content to understand that free will, since Eve handed Adam the apple, is enough to enable violence, and leave it at that. Some might consider this outlook too simplistic.

The tone of this article and the baseless references to white supremacists are exactly why people distrust the media. They are simply angry that we no longer pay attention to them.

Status of the vote:

Do you think the media was biased in its coverage of this case? * 2088 responses

Yes. If the racial situation had been turned around, the press would have been all over it, loudly and from a high and visible platform 89%

No. That's just bad conjecture. There's no proof this is more than a random crime of opportunity -- regardless of the races involved 11%

Here's to hoping the perps DIAF.

Racial Overtones??????????? Not to be confused with a hate crime.

All depends if the victim is BLACK or WHITE.............

It's not only major media that want to downplay the vicious crime.  Compare this Bizarro World statement from John Gill, special assistant to District Attorney Randy Nichols...

The victims were just "at the wrong place at the wrong time..."

...to the prosecutorial zeal of North Carolina vs the Duke lacrosse team.

The victims did not know the attackers and were just "at the wrong place at the wrong time," Gill said.

By that standard, the James Byrd murder was not a hate crime.

I wonder who they mean by white supremacists. They had an example for conservatives (National Review), but who are the white supremacists they are referring to? Did they just throw that in or what?

How do you think the media would have handled this story if the victims had been two homosexuals?

Another thing they are squelching the story for is straight guys don’t rape other guys.

Two young white kids out on a date robbed, gang raped and murdered: no big deal. Black hooker accuses white jocks of rape – national media circus.
