No offense meant here. Really, no offense. Especially no offense meant to those who are very much interested in a specific media case that many are following. But it always galls me when the media decides that a specific killing/murder/criminal activity is more worthy of intense media coverage than all the others out there. And, without a doubt, the media coverage is always on some beautiful, very white, upper middle class family or person who looks "American" and "next-door" and was "good" and "religious" and "wholesome" and whose family has enough money to hire a public relations team. Two hundred people can be gunned down in an urban city and it's no news, but a lily white woman is missing and it's national news. I mean, where is the prioritization coming from? This link proves my point. This is one of the reasons why I never really pay attention to the criminal issues that the media are harping about usually, because I know that they are always biased as to the point of view and what "reality" they're trying to impart. I feel sad and hurt that the well-known media crimes happens and wish the best for their families. I just wonder why no one seems to care about the non-well-known families and victims. Were they less worthy of noting?
