Knoxville TN murder: This IS a true story and reading it sickened me. This story didn't make it to the news because Anna Nicole's story was apparently more important and drowned everything else out... I can't belive Nancy Grace isn't doing anything with this...

Sorry, I found it. It happened in Knoxville, though. I can't see why you didn't link to newspaper coverage instead of a blog. It always looks fishy.

I call bullshit. You say Maryland, Wikipedia says Tennessee, and there's not even a police blotter or obituary? Have you read that black people have stolen the word gullible out of every dictionary? Seriously! Go look. Sure, there could be a conspiracy among some in the mainstream media, but do you really think Nancy Grace would have let that pass her by. Do you think Michelle Malkin or the other more respected right wing bloggers would have let it pass? I'm sending this BS to snopes.

#3, NYer: You want to get angry and know about a politically incorrect murder that the mainstream press has just completely ignored? One that it has done its best not to mention or give it the kind of publicity that it reserves for racial epithets? Think about this. This month there was a couple murdered by 5 carjackers in Maryland. Both, the man and the woman were raped. Both! Then the man had his penis caught off, hung from a tree and shot three times while his girlfriend was forced to watch. She was then tortured and raped for three more days. After that their bodies were dismembered and burned. Why isn't this horror all over the news? Is it because the MSM wants to protect the underprivileged perpetrators from the big white lynch mob? I just don't know. hxxp://mitchieville.blogspot.com/2007/04/horror-story-msm-has-tried-to-bury.html (change x to t)

Alistaire i could be wrong but is your post intimating that you believe that all black men commit heinous crimes happening in the world? all white men aren't morally bankrupt like richard nixon, ken lay, gordon liddy, bernie ebbers, adolf hitler, ted bundy, timothy mcveigh, jim jones -- to name a few. they committed their acts -- some immoral, some criminal-- as individuals and so did this loser.

NYer, if you can't see the difference between an individualized criminal act and the public defamation of an entire group of people, you are a complete idiot.

National media's not going to pick up on every NYC story, especially not with last week's events in Virginia. Stop pouring salt on your wounds, the zombie cowboy will ride again.

Hmmm... let's see how balanced the scale of justice in how the media handled two recent events affecting black-white relations. Imus uses the term "nappy-headed ho's" on the radio (a term, coined, by the way, by Spike Lee in one of his movies). The result is a blitz of national 24-hour media condemnation and celebrity piling on for more than a week. He apologizes repeatedly, but is publicly humiliated and fired from two jobs. A black guy forcibly drugs and brutally rapes and tortures, then attempts to kill a white post-grad student in her New York apartment and media coverage barely goes above the radar -- and the victim is not even identified as being white, which she is. Both events were regrettable, of course. However, looking at how fairly media performed, makes me that justice may not be blind after all, but instead deaf and dumb.

I can hardly contain my shock as to the perpetrator of that crime - an African-American individual? Say it ain't so?!
