Fox News and NBC Dateline did do lengthy stories about Wichita but years after the fact. Neither story had any new details and I don’t think either touched on the racial aspect though they of course showed pictures and video of the savages.
What is most striking though of course is the remarkable story of survival of the one gal. A little hair clip deflected a bullet and saved her life. This is so extraordinary that of course under different circumstances it would have been a major news story. Just a week or so ago we heard about the store owner in MS who managed to avoid a gunshot because the bullet glanced off his wedding ring as he had his hand near his head. That was covered by the national news media.
It is transparently obvious why the Wichita 2000 events were not covered widely. And btw, besides the 4 murdered the morning of Dec 15, and the survivor, there were 2 other victims. The guy who was carjacked a week before, and the music teacher who was shot as they attempted to carjack her. She was paralyzed but was expected to survive. Sadly she became the 5th murder victim when she did in Jan 2001.
But normal circumstances requires the crime to be either non-racial (white on white) or PC racial (white on black). If it had been the latter, the press coverage would have been beyond our imagination, with the racial aspects hyped to the uppermost level. President Bush would have been asked about the crime at his next press conference, and the question would have been whether or not his party's "insensitivity" to minorities might be encouraging such attacks. The 'Rat leadership would have already made such claims and 'Rat presidential contenders would have trekked to Wichita to make the claim.
Had the incident been black on black it might have gotten some press, but not much, and it would have mostly been about the poor conditions in black neighborhoods and how American society has failed to improve conditions for blacks.
But since it was black on white, the press buried it, only giving it tangential coverage months later, which downplayed the racial aspects.
It's the same PC garbage we see on crimes involving homosexuals. We've had the Matthew Sheppard murder rubbed in our face for years. There have been congressional inquiries, massive media "special reports", and even plays and films made about it. But if homosexuals rape and torture a child to death, well, it's just one of those daily local crimes that happen every so often.
Imagine someone walking into a bathroom stall and seeing "I hate whitey" or "honky" written there among all the graffiti. Would that make the national news wires????? Of course not, nor should it, but if equivalent slurs were written about blacks, we'd see a report the next day with a lurid headline: "Racist graffiti sends shock wave through community". We'd be told that similar graffiti was spotted a month ago somewhere else, so a "national pattern" was emerging. Even if it was revealed that blacks themselves wrote the slurs, the press would still cover the next such case with the same fervor and seriousness.
Why people have the audacity to deny this media bias is beyond me.
