American Media Shares Blame in Aruba

[Berzerker]

Its harder to convict on murder without a body, much harder.

Of course, he's not just an incompetent with no real idea on how to run an investigation.

Doesn't sound like he was running the investigation, outside pressure changed the course of that. But I refer you to the 3rd word in the title.

Does wanting to kill Nancy Grace make me a bad person?

No.

The media has been f*cked up ever since the Fairness Doctrine was abandoned in the 80's. I've been seening tons of evidence of vote-rigging by Diebold and other electoral shinanigans in Ohio, yet nobody, not even NPR or the BBC, has had ANYTHING on it.

AFAIK Natalie is still 'missing'.

Instead of blaming "the media," you might be better off focusing your attacks on the parts therein that have 24-hour news cycles to fill. In other words, television. And even then, only certain TV stations like Fox News, CNN, et al.

I've got more pressing use for the space I'm allotted than a missing (and, presumably, dead) teenager in Aruba. Should they find her (alive or dead), then a story will get in. Not until then, though.

Increasingly it's getting harder for me to describe tv personalities as journalist so I feel your frustration.

Natalie Holloway? Tell me again, why should I give a **** about some well-off white princess when we have missing non-whites in America, hundreds dying in Africa and the Middle East, and thousands starving in North Korea?

she happens to be a human being.

edit: she was a human being. Though she may still be alive as a sex slave somewhere. But it's unlikely they could have gotten her off the island without being noticed. She's probably underwater somewhere.

Yes, you're right. Just so happens to be a human being, as a matter of fact.

Tell me again why I should give a **** about some formerly well-off white princess when we have missing non-whites in America, hundreds dying in Africa or the Middle East, and thousands starving in North Korea?

Oh, right. Only attractive, well-off white people are humans--and as for the rest of the mud races, well, who cares?

maybe care about her & the other people in the world irreguardless of race,creed or ethnic background?

you think your heart is big enough for that?

I didnt see anywhere in the news about 1 phat booty-liscious "doin-da-butt-dat wild thang" that was missing in Aruba

I did see where Natalie Holloway was

Now

Maybe you should get a thread up about these other folks that are exploited and sho nuff been dun wrong and then we can care about them?

Of course then they too would have a few moments of empathy and then some po white trash redneck would come along and say whom gives a flip about some crack whore who got nailed while high?

doesnt even sound remotely funny does it?

nor does saying because Natalie Holloway is white she is a so called princess and deserves to come up missing and oh by the way because she comes from an affluent family and society she doesnt deserve squat?

Its ok for you to bash folks who are your so called "approved list" for being heartless toward

This is the reason why racial relations will allways be strained

because when a white person says its a shame a human being hahad something terrible happen and a nother person says "wait... the plight of my people is going unnoticed" and why should we care about her when all these things are happening to other people

shame that a two-edge sword is at hand here

But then again
Poly People are sometimes human too

and opinionated

Hey q-cubed

maybe Jesse can help when he is done with T.O. and then everyone in the world can know that only poor non-whites are worth reading about

No one's heart is big enough for all the world's pain, but that doesn't mean we can't be disgusted by the media's cycnicism, racism, sexism, and classism. Twenty-five thousand people a day die because they can't afford food. Where's the nightly coverage about this travesty?

Seventeen prostitutes go missing up and down I-95 in Florida over the past few years. Let's devote several months to a "rash" (five) of kidnappings of little white girls all over the U.S. The preisdent lied about the war, but first, Lacy Peterson's evil husband!!!

so Che do we not report anything?

I agree we cant bear all the pain but what about being white or black or yellow or affluent or poor or northern or southern or a Prostitute or a pregnant mother makes one story more or less newsworthy?

I am simply stating yes its a shame people die

but why blame the family for trying to find their loved one?

I am sorry for all the harshness in the world

its sucks..PERIOD

I just get tired of people telling me or my race we dont have the right to be grieved because one of our race is hurt or mamed or disgraced

thats as much rascism as burning a cross in a yard

I try to be fairly quiet about somethings and let them go

But it burns my @zz when I hear people say your white and you get all the attention

I get my white azz out of bed everyday

I go to work

I pay my taxes and I come home to my family

no one gives me $h!t

I just cant stand people saying screw white kids and the media for trying to help

I agree

the media should help in all situations

I am sorry it doesnt

but that doesnt mean we should condemn a family who is grieving because the color of their skin or the amount of money in their banking account

[Grandpa Troll]

I better calm down and take a few free pills the government give us white folks

to help cover my NECK so it doesnt appear that I am insensitive to the plight of soo many people groups I help keep down

and since its Saturday

I probably cant contact a newspaper to run a section of nonwhite plights of society

well

long week had to vent somewhere might as well be here

so you have a thing against white women?

Please stop feeding the troll.

I think it's time people realize the news business is well... a business. They are out to make money. It just so happens most consumers of news are white. And most reporters are also white. So yes, a large number of reported stories does deal with white people.

It just doesn't pay to get this upset over it. I was very upset over that missing girl case in Utah a few years back (the one where the guy took the 13 year old girl as his wife). Because at the same time a little mexican girl went missing from my city. One garners national attention, the other doesn't.

Life is not fair. Get used to it. The media will never be fair and balanced.
