A tale of two courtroom dramas

Here is a story of two trials and how they were covered in the news. Or not covered. You tell me what it says about the media's twisted values.

The first trial was held in Beverly Hills. The accused was Hollywood starlet Winona Ryder, charged with shoplifting ...

Meanwhile, in unglamorous Wichita, Kan., the eight-week trial of Jonathan and Reginald Carr came to a close. The brothers were found guilty of four counts of capital murder ...

If you read the New York Times or The Washington Post or watched the evening news this week, the Wichita Massacre never happened. Not to worry, though. The latest investigative report on where Winona Ryder got that Hermes handbag is coming up next. Stay tuned.

Can you say Jesse Dirkhising?

YAWN!

[RKV]

If you're talking about Ryder I'm with you. The Carrs on the other hand, should get a bit more air time.

[RKV]

Maybe I'm a bit tuned up because of a Matthew Shepard based play that has hit town. I'll go back to my coffee.

[Blue Screen of Death]

We have Michelle Malkin and Ann Coulter. They have Hillary Clinton and Maxine Waters. I like our side better.

[RKV]

You have that right. They can have Helen Thomas too.

It's very simple really. The Carr brothers are black and therefore by definition are victims of the evil and oppressive white man and therefore are to be pitied. Surely you don't expect any real accountability to you?

[RKV]

Not from the lamestream press, anyway.
