The media is suppressing this story.

We live in an age of stunning double standards.

Why should the media cover this? After all, this is a real story. AKA boring

The media only wants to cover and promote sensational fake stories. That’s where the real money is.

Nation guard memos, Duke LAX, Global Warming, etc...

Fiction has a much better bottom line.

"But I can't say that this one would have had any more coverage if five whites had been accused of doing these things to two blacks, absent a blatant racial motive," he said. "As bad as this crime is, the apparent absence of any interest group involvement or any other 'angle' might also explain the lack of coverage."

Next delusion, please.

The national media *is* purposefully ignoring this case, but it’s not reverse-racism. It’s racism.

Happily Bill Hemmer just ran a segment on this on FOX news.

I think it’s pretty obvious why.
The media want everyone to think that whites are racist, and that they murder, rape and plunder non-whites.
When an incident happens that conflicts with their agenda, they suppress it.

"Ted Gest, president of the Criminal Justice Journalists group, a national organization of journalists who cover crime, court and prison beats, said interracial crime tends to get more coverage than when the criminal and victim are of the same race."

Note this brilliant journalist. Interracial crime...criminal and victim are of the same race. Hmmmm, his own statement underscores his stupidity and, of course, hypocrisy.

Just like the Charles-Rust Tierney case (ACLU president with child torture porn - what, you didn’t hear about that?), the media does not report it because it does nothing good for their agenda.

The DBM with it’s “selective” journalism is driving the growth of forums such as FR. We tell the truth here.

No biggie. The DBM was able to ignore a similar story in 2001 in Wichita, Kansas. The only big difference in the stories is that the Wichita incident had more than two victims.

Online critics have angrily insisted that reporters are ignoring the story because the victims are white and the defendants are black.

Is all very simple. Black on White crime = Dog bites Man. White on Black crime = Man bites Dog.

That is why the "Duke Rape Case" made such headlines.

Ted Gest . . . said . . . "But I can't say that this one would have had any more coverage if five whites had been accused of doing these things to two blacks, absent a blatant racial motive," he said. "As bad as this crime is, the apparent absence of any interest group involvement or any other 'angle' might also explain the lack of coverage."

Liar.

I emailed O’Reilly about this many weeks ago since he is so sensitive to “hate” crimes and atrocities against blacks. Oh, and Court TV must be encouraged/forced to carry this trial.

This was all over FoxNews this morning. They had the pictures of the suspects and a discussion about whether or not this should be a “hate” crime.

On their show this morning, Quinn and Rose said that a source inside law enforcement told them one of the accusers is Muslim.

If a Black couple had been tortured butchered this way by five whites the outrage would have been massive and worldwide. It would definitely be called a hate crime.

It would be on the front page of the NYTimes for days. It would have gotten a five page treatment in Time Magazine with an abundance of soul searching
