I wish I were surprised by the double standard but I’d be lying. This is why blogs and the internet are so important because otherwise the liberal media would have almost total control over the news, not that they’re trying to control it now with the ‘fairness doctrine’ crap and the new hate er thought crimes bill. Thanks for fixing the link as well…

I saw this story in an email blast that I received. Sad and shocking, to read it again pisses me off yet again. How such a horror can go unreported in the MSM is beyond my comprehension. I must say that several years ago in Addison, IL, a horrific tale of a pregnant white woman butchered for her fetus, and the murders of her other children, did indeed receive first class attention by the Chicago media. The perps were all caught and I believe have all been sentenced at this point.

But that in no way disputes the underlying truth of ST’s post. Just the scale of savagery alone should have had this all over the place.

More than anything, this is just another sad example that evil does indeed exist in the world, and even in our own country. Stifle religious expression, inhibit our ability to bear arms for self-protection, elevate the self above all else, and how can we expect any better?

The Tragic Story the Mainstream Media Buried

While the death of Anna Nicole Smith and the Don Imus story occupied hundreds of hours of prime-time coverage, this savage and incomprehensible crime received no significant attention…

Our esteemed hostess wrote:

Shepard’s killers rec’d life sentences without the possibility of parole – their lives were spared by Shepard’s parents, who don’t believe in the death penalty.

Not exactly. One of the killers pled guilty to avoid the death penalty, agreeing to two consecutive life sentences and to testify against the other; he is eligible for parole at some point. The second defendant went to trial and was convicted; during the sentencing phase, Mr Shepard’s mother stated that her late son did not believe in capital punishment, and the agreement on that defendant was two consecutive life terms without the possibility of parole.

Either way, Dana, they rec’d harsher sentences – and a lot more media attention- than Daphne Sulk’s killer, so the point still stands.

Why Have We Not Heard About This Crime 24/7?

Sister Toldjah has a horrific story of a double murder committed in January of this year in Knoxville, TN.
Why haven’t we heard about this all over the news? Was the news of Anna Nicole Smith’s death a month later more worthy of the days …

I know that the point of the post was the MSM double standard, but what struck me as I read the account was how brutal the acts were. I have gotten used to hearing the obscene brutality committed by those practicing not-so-peaceful-Islam and have succumbed to an us/them attitude. Reading this reminds me that Evil exists in our own borders.

God forgive us for what we have become as a nation.

Well, like an old training officer of mine once said “There’s a reason why they call it the criminal justice system, instead of the victim justice system.”

Greetings,

For the last few days, I have been sending this letter out to all major news corporations and online newspapers. Sometimes it was deleted from post, and at other times, it was ignored. Hopefully with the article that you wrote, you will be able to send this out so that this case can get some recognition.

Thank you for your time.
___________________________________________________________________________________________

Hello,

The reason why I am writing this letter is to discuss an unjust in the media world.
Here is the story:

This past Monday, Eliott from “Eliott In The Morning,” based out of Washington, DC. spoke about a story out of Knoxville, TN. When he read the story, I was so shocked and appalled at the severity of the crime. The link to the story is posted below:

LINK

(side note, there was massive mutilations involving the 2 victims, which is not stated in the wikipedia article)

After reading this, you can see my concern. After doing some research and finding out as much info as I could, I was horrified that something like this could have happened and yet it has only been covered locally.

Now, I am mixed black male and I am by no way racist nor biased, because the public should know what happens in the public. But the problem is, why is it that whenever a Caucasian person commits a crime against a particular race, especially black, that it takes no more than a few hours to have it circulate the world if it is a major issue. When it comes to Caucasians as victims, you don’t necessarily hear anything about it, especially if the crime is as severe as this one.
Now, why is it, that the USA Today, can put the faces of black African Americans on the FRONT page to tell about all kinds of crimes, but something as severe as this one, it is kept under wraps.
The worst part about this story was told today on his show. Now, this is the most appalling thing i have heard and it goes as follows:

LINK

So, in lieu of the vigil for the 2 victims, a certain group of African Americans are constructing this “celebration.”
Now you might be wondering why I am telling you all this, but it is NOT to bring out the worst in people, but to show how the media, race, and violence of this nature should be addressed. Furthermore, I am ASHAMED of being black to think that a group of people would actually celebrate a death like this because they feel they are not privileged. I know that the KKK would celebrate or whatever, but think about it. It all boils down to this group vs. this group. And it is sick.
I’d like for you to please voice the outrage in regards to this story and please have your listeners explain to me as to why things like this get swept under the rug. It was mentioned on Court TVs website, but nothing else.

For the last portion of this email, I would like to say:

“Why is it that when it comes to lesser crimes, the media will portray African Americans in the broad spectrum of light, but when it comes to something as serious like this, why keep it under wraps.”
BTW, the Washington Post has stated that they couldn’t send an investigator reporter to the area to inquire about the story, because “they didn’t have anyone down there.” You would think that the Washington Post would have had more sense than to say something like that. Am I right?

In closing, I just want to say, thank you for all that you bring to the community and would to tip my hat off to you all and let you know that even if you don’t put this on the air, I know that at least you hear from a good fan of your show and that is all that matters.
Thank you.

Why are you surprised? You should know by now not to trust anything the main stream media says. Especially when the topic is race. Let’s say what no one wants to say. Blacks are the most racist of all races. They are mostly cowards who will only act when in groups – only when they know they can win. Put them in a room one on one and they suddenly become very chicken-shit. I have experience this many time. Just take a look at the mugs on these five animals. They look so tough. Yet, I can assure you that individually they are like little dogs.

The only justice for these morons and others like them is to shoot them in the head. Why bother with a circus trial? They’ll just claim they are products of white societal descrimination. Shoot them , hang them, feed them to the sharks. Whatever. They are worthless scum. Then watch them start crying like little girls.

ALL areas of The Media are racist against White people. Especially, White victims of Black-on-White assault,robbery,rape,and murder. Unless the White victim is Left-Wing,then,and ONLY then,does the media give any sympathy.
