Nope, the liberal MSM treated this case with just cursory attention.

They had to be careful as to not inflame whitey!

Cursory attention indeed. Considering that crimes involving such vile depravity are rare, you’d think this would be a much bigger story. The “robbery gone bad” angle sounds just a little absurd.

After the Cheshire CT home invasion/murders last summer, the cable networks were on that for days. The family victimized was even on the cover of People magazine. One issue Nancy Grace covered closely was why were the scumbags, with long criminal records, still out on the streets. To my knowledge, Nancy and the others have not done any segments on this Knoxville atrocity. The accused in this case also had long records, and perhaps even more violent ones than the creeps in the CT case. One of them already had been a carjacker and served only a few years. Yeah, I guess that taught him not to do it again.

I did read a transcript of a CNN story from last year where they talked not so much about the crime as about coverage of it. One of the panelists was insisting there was no dearth of coverage, and even made the laughable statement that if the races had been reversed, we would hear even less about it.
