“The tragedy that the mainstream media refuses to speak about.”

####

Because the sub-human savages who perpretated this unspeakable crime remain a protected race, and the victims were mere white heterosexuals.

What do you mean the mainstream media refuses to cover it? It’s been in the New York Times, CNN, MSNBC, CBS, Fox, AP and more.

But has not been given anywhere near the exposure it would have gotten if it was a white-on-black or straight-on-gay crime.

Yes can you imagine how many Hollywood movies would have been made about this tragedy (abomination really) if the race rolls were reversed. There would already be movies made about it. There would be commissions to study the problem and make recommendations about the consequences. The Feds would certainly be involved (James Byrd anyone). There would be endless protests including all the usual suspects.

Think about how much publicity the famous Duke Lacrosse fraud got. Any idiot who read the police report could have told you the whole thing was a fraud. Of course the New York Times and Washington Post and all the others got it completely wrong. The guys were guilty until proven innocent.

But this case is very real and fairly common. It's just that the news media outside of the immediate area will not cover it and certainly the local cowardly officials won't acknowledge it as a hate crime. Pathetic.

Are you serious or just be facetious? This thing got almost NO publicity outside of the local Tennessee area. Show me where this was in the MSM.

Both of those are so rare as to be almost nonexistent. The last white on black crime I can think of that got any prolonged attention was the James Byrd case 12 years ago, and even then it was remarkable for its rarity, and the last straight on gay crime to get any prolonged attention was the Matthew Shepard case, also twelve years ago.

The case of Matthew Shepard was more complicated than you think. I don't have the info in front of me but it seems the media got it wrong-again. It turns out that Matthew Shepard was a gay man who got himself on the wrong end of a drug deal. Not all that uncommon. That's why he was killed. He wasn't killed because he was gay. But by the time this was all sorted out, he had been anointed as a "saint" by the MSM. They never accurately reported this story. The general public still believes that Shepard was killed because he was gay.

Yes . . . back in 2004 ABC's 20/20 did and expose on this media hit piece : Matthew wasn't "gay" and "proud." He was profoundly troubled. You know there must be something happening when the New York Times praises ABC News for running "an intellectually brave episode" of the "20/20" show that has angered the homosexual lobby. That means the Times found it convincing, and so did we. In the November 27 show, "20/20" uncovered the truth about the 1998 murder of Matthew Shepard, widely depicted as a hate crime because he was a homosexual. Almost everything we were told about this murder at the time by ABC, the Times and every other major news organization was false. http://www.aim.org/media_monitor/2331_0_2_0_C

I seem to recall ahwile back that FR threads on this were yanked after awhile. Lots of reasons perhaps - graphic images, racial slurs, copywrited material, etc.

Reverse the races of the victims and the perps and they would all be household names. However, since “whitey” was the victim, the media pays little attention. In effect, the media is saying the protected classes can’t help it. That is pure racism.

The best memorial the people of Knoxville could give those two young people would be to hang all five of those animals at the memorial park. Unfortunately, one scum only got 18 years for carjacking, and one scum got life for murder. The other three still await trial. If the people of Knoxville don’t have the intestinal fortitude to hang those bastards they are going to get more of that type behavior.

Indeed.

But capital punishment loses a great deal of its deterrent value in rough proportion to the extent that it is not quick and public.

What is more sickening than this lying savage’s testimony is the comments by blacks on YouTube condoning the act or threatening other whites with a similar fate. I remember how the Duke Lacrosse fiasco was front page news here in Atlanta (before the kids were acquitted) but this case has gotten very little if any coverage. I wonder why....Knoxville in closer to Atlanta than Durham. Surely, the actual rape and murder of two young kids by a gang of savages is more newsworthy than the supposed rape of a prostitute......my questions are rhetorical of course as we all know the answer to the question.

The ring leader is on death-row. The one that got 18 could very well be headed back to court. DNA testing is still on-going. Juries were being called in from Nashville and Chattanooga for two of the defendants.

Personally, they should have been hung downtown but the system doesn’t work that way.

After seeing how the prosecution is working, the defense is angling to poke holes in the case. All of these people deserve to be out of our midst but unfortunately it has become a match between lawyers.

As of October 21, 2009 Megan Williams recanted her story saying none of the abuse or kidnapping took place.

I’ve got a strong feeling that the guy that got 18 is coming back to court. He has been implicated more than once by the other defendants. They call him “G”.

I don’t know. They got his DNA via search warrant cuz the accusations of the other perps. My guess is they couldn’t link him via DNA to the crimes. All his activities were after the fact, ie, helping the four perps evade LE and cuz of that he 18 years for accessory.

Of course all prior history was not allowed in the trial. Just looking at the pictures and hearing the actual account of the time of events has been enough. That cobbins guy should have got the chair as well.

Yeah, and the cops don't believe her. The defendants all confessed, they pleaded guilty, and gave statements incriminating each other. Their stories were backed up by forensic evidence at the scene. One of the convicted men, hearing that she'd recanted, repeated his confession. The victim's roommate said that the victim goes back and forth over whether it happened. Frankly, she seems a little nuts.

The point is that for over two years before this latest recantation, the story was out there, and yet I don't remember it ever being that big a deal. Is there a TV movie that I missed?

Oh please Bubba. Give me a break.

As that old song goes:
"...what kind of fool do you think I am..."

Yes you may be able to Google the story and find a faint mention in some MSM publications. But did you notice that there was no mention of race in these stories? These stories were buried in the back sections of these publications and were probably only printed or featured on one day or so.

By contrast the James Byrd story was headline news day after day in the MSM. CBS News (when Dan Rather was anchor) actually did a remote broadcast of their NATIONAL NEWSCAST from the small town of Jasper, Texas. There's no comparison in the coverage of these cases. The James Byrd case got 100X (if not more) of the attention of the case in Tennessee. Just google both cases and you will see. You will also see immediate mention of race in the James Byrd case, but none in the Christian and Newsome murders except for Fox News. It's absolutely preposterous to compare the two cases. And if you search Mathew Shepard there is no end to the number of hits you will get.

It's simply horrific journalism with a political point of view in the MSM. There's no other way to account for the biased coverage.

before the kids were acquitted

To be absolutely accurate, they were never acquitted. They never went to trial. The charges were dropped and the NC Attorney went on national TV and essentially exposed the whole thing as a fraud and proclaimed the 3 Dukies as absolutely innocent. This took real courage by the North Carolina Attorney General. Not many DA's would have gone on National TV and admitted to the mistake.

With the exception of Fox News, the case vanished from the airwaves. A more interesting question is why there wasn't more in the MSM about why this case proceeded in the first place and why there was such a feeding frenzy in the various leftist/liberal circles. The behavior of the News Media (MSM) in Duke Case was nearly as reprehensible as that of the DA and the woman who falsely accused the Dukies. Of course we know what later happened to this woman.

You are absolutely right in correcting my description of how this case ended. I don’t think I have ever been as proud of a public office holder as I was of the N.C. Attorney General after watching that press conference. He pulled no punches...wonder what that POS Durham DA is up to these days.
