OK, so let's create a level playing field here. I have not even heard of this on CBS, ABC, NBC or any of the cable news services, even FOX NEWS. OR in any of the Newsrags or other publications. Read this and weep.

Bet you $20 you did not hear this on the national news.

The animals pictured below car-jacked, then raped Christopher Newsom, cut off his penis, then set him on fire and fatally shot him several times while they forced his girlfriend, Channon Christian, to watch. An even more cruel fate awaited her!

Channon Christian, was beaten and gang-raped in many ways for four days by all of them, while they took turns urinating on her. Then they cut off her breast and put chemicals in her mouth ... and then murdered her.

Where be the Revs Al and Jesse? Are they providing counsel and help to the families of the victims?

Of course not - the victims were white

Why hasn't this received National coverage by the news media like the Duke "rape" case?

Oh, that's right - the victims were white

Why hasn't the NAACP, ACLU, New York Times etc, called for an investigation?

Must be cause the victims were white

Why hasn't the FBI been called in to investigate this as a hate crime?
Oh, that's right - the victims were white.

I’m pretty darn sure that I saw this story on FoxNews since that is the only TV news that I watch and I have seen coverage of the story. Granted, there was not wall-to-wall-Natalee-Holloway-type coverage, but the story was reported. There is not a great wail of outrage because every time something happens to white folks, we are not out in the street marching and shouting ‘no justice no peace’. If we did, it would probably get some coverage.

The libs have made it a hate crime to dislike a black.....if for some reason and more often than not per media info you choose too your a racist Me I hate(sorry sister Eleanor Marie),these black bastards....

[restornu]

People who think this needs to be trumpeted far and wide.

I made a point of making fun of them personally, and enjoyed it immensely. There are few lolcows more worthy of milking than overweight, out of work Klan wannabes from New Jersey.

They left after an hour or two of looking like retards and being ignored by everyone except the hecklers.

I think there is a good reason this story is not on national news-it would exacerbate already existing racial tensions and allow nuts on the lunatic white racist fringe to come out of the closet and blast blacks as a group.
Same reason why I am not in favor of all the hype about the Jena Six and related cases that give the Left and agitators like Sharpton and Jackson fuel to stir up discontent among blacks.
The suspects in this case in Tennesseee deserve a quick trip to the electic chair if convicted.NOT because their victims were white,however.They should get the same sentence if their victims had been two shady crack fiends or two illegal aliens.

The blacks I know think this is disgusting. It’s our own white liberal media who are prejudice against whites. There..I said it. And if the media could say that I'm a racist against the media...they would say that as well.

It did get some coverage, largely in response to criticism that the media went crazy with massive coverage of the Duke rape allegations, but ignored crimes such as the Knoxville murders. To "prove" that they really, really do cover black-on-white crimes, some media outlets ran a few stories on the Knoxville murders.

But it really only got about as much coverage as the discovery of a noose would get, or an anti-black racial slur found on the inside of a bathroom stall would get. Once they ran a couple of stories on the Knoxville horror, it was back to PC business as usual.

BS...it’s a dicusting story and it would have made excellant bloody news for the media vultures. The media is a political arm. Why do people not get this yet?

[maine-iac7]

you claim this WAS covered b y the MEDIA - and then can only come up with Michelle Malkins blog and wikipedia, which is 'written' by individuals contributers???

You call that MEDIA COVERAGE???

_{good grief}

[Riverman94610]

True,and personally I try to exclude many of these gruesome stories from my viewing and reading.It injects an element of ugliness into my life I plain don’t need right now.
Related to that is the story about the pro-life protestors showing pictures of aborted fetuses.I am VERY anti-abortion but why subject people to such horrid photos?You should be opposed to abortion on an INTELLECTUAL level,not forced to see nightmarish pictures like the ones being displayed on the signs.
I have way too many nightmares as it is.
