I can't fault MSM for not covering a third-anniversary vigil of a murder.

I agree with you. However, it looks as if this story was never of real interest to the MSM. That's the point.

I used Nexis to run a comparison of print media coverage of the Shepard and Stachowicz murders. I searched for media stories on "Mary Stachowicz" between the day of her murder, Nov. 13, 2002, and today. There were 25 items. (Nexis also includes press releases and letters-to-the-editor.)

I then did a search for "Matthew Shepard" for the same time period. The Nexis search engine produced this notice: "This search has been interrupted because it will return more than 1,000 documents."

There is a scumbag who goes by the handle of "Rage" at the Michigan Buzzboard site (mibuzzboard.com) who constantly implies that Christians are murderous. Then something like the Stachowicz and Dirkising cases show how violent homosexuals can be and the MSM ignores it.

Wrong is wrong. A murder should be not be ignored simply because it was perpetrated by a homosexual. The MSM sure makes a big deal out of the anniversaries of the Matthew Shepard murder.
