Missing White Woman Syndrome

I agree most with Visavi and Eleo.

Media coverage, generally, is not focused on bias or racist ideals... They want to talk about whatever gets you to watch. I refuse to believe that the media would ignore a story about a rich, photogenic, picturesque black/latino/asian family living in suburbia. It doesn't matter the color of their skin, as much as the shock value and the sell-ability of the story. These media folk would talk about shit pouring out someone's nose if they thought it would make people watch. (oh wait, they practically do that with "reality" challenge shows anyway)

And Eleo is right in that the over-dramatization of these occurances (JonBenet perfect example liek waht) is ridiculous and, like celebrity worship, is just a huge waste of time and intelligence.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
