The savageness of this crime and innocence of the victims did not garner the attention and media outrage it should have.

So what you're saying is that the excessive coverage of the Duke Rape Case and Sheppard and Brawley was all justified, and that it's a shame that a media circus wasn't also made out of this case?

Nope, just making note of the obvious bias in what the MSM considers newsworthy.

No, more that the Brawley, Sheppard, and Duke cases were all massively overblown because of the racial or “hate crime” angle. A story like this, in a country this big, really is more of a local story, horrible as it is, and won’t make much of a blip on the national news scene. This crime was more horrible than any of the other three allegations, and yet has received about 1/100th of the attention. There are some fairly obvious conclusions to draw from that regarding what the MSM finds “newsworthy.”
