Michelle Malkin ^ | August 18, 2009 | Michelle Malkin

Posted on 08/21/2009 6:49:20 AM PDT by SonnyBubba

Longtime readers will remember Channon Christian and Christopher Newsom, the young couple brutally murdered in a racially-charged case in Knoxville, TN in 2007. My archives on the case are here.

The trial of the first defendant Letalvis Cobbins began yesterday. The Knoxville News Sentinel reports:

Let’s see if the lame stream media reports this. They didn’t report it when it happened. Wonder why?

There was no mention of the race of the perp. In the MSM that means he was probably black.

The perps were all black. The victims were white.

Victims are WHITE.
So-there’s nothing to see here.
Move on, or you’re racist.

2nd thought, you’re racist anyway. Now GO!

Earlier this afternoon, jurors in the January 2007 slaying of a Knox County couple ended their day with testimony about the grisly discovering of one victim’s body that had been burned beyond recognition.

I am absolute ill reading about this. Animals, nothing but animals. But where has this been from January 2007? This cried for swift justice, and it is apparent it did not happen. Where was the coverage of this by the "Media"?

...I expect it will be largely overlooked by the MSM....same as the The Wichita Massacre in 2000.

On Saturday January 6, 2007 Hugh Christopher Newsom, age 23 and Channon Gail Christian, age 21, both students at the University of Tennessee went out on a date. They were driving in Channon’s Toyota 4-Runner when they were carjacked at gunpoint. Suddenly the crime turned far more savage than an armed car theft. Chris and Channon were kidnapped and driven to 2316 Chipman Street where they were forced into the home at gunpoint. While Channon was forced to watch, her boyfriend was raped prison style and then his penis was cut off. He was later driven to nearby railroad tracks where he was shot and set afire. But Channon’s hell was just beginning. She was beaten; gang raped repeatedly in many ways, had one of her breasts cut off and bleach poured down her throat to destroy DNA evidence-all while she was still alive. To add to Channon’s degradation the suspects took turns urinating on her. They too set her body afire, apparently inside the residence, but for some reason left her body there-in five separate trash bags...

Somehow, I knew that. When there is no mention of race in the media, the perps are always Black or Hispanic, and the victims White.

Maybe FOX NEWS will cover it! This is the kind of news story which Megan Kelly would cover on the O'Reilly Factor.

The Rest of the MSM doesn't concern me. \

I stopped watching the NEWS on the Alphabet Networks(ABC,NBC,CBS,CNN,etc.)long before FOX showed up.

Why in hell won't the MSM media cover this!!!!!!!!!

If the races were reversed, we would not hear the end of it. Every tv and radio channel in the world would be covering this, 24x7! I hate the MSM with such a passion!!!!!!!!!!!!!
