RE: violent torture rape and murder of Tennessee couple in 2007
Murders of Channon Christian and Christopher Newsom
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murders_of_Channon_Christian_and_Christopher_Newsom
An October 16, 2009 article in The Daily Mail stated, "Ironically, the case has now generated more publicity surrounding the furore over whether or not political correctness was behind the US media’s decision to largely ignore the story than it did for the murders themselves." The same article quoted commentator Michelle Malkin as saying, "This case – an attractive white couple murdered by five black thugs – doesn’t fit any political agenda. It’s not a useful crime. Reverse the races and just imagine how the national media would cover the story of a young black couple murdered by five white assailants."[39]
Commentary: Where is the outrage when humans are abused? - CNN
Do you believe the lack of media coverage on this murder case was due to
* racial bias?
* political agenda?
* bystander syndrome (where people do not respond or react
until they see how other people respond first; so if nobody responds, nothing happens)
* other reason?
