'MISSING WHITE WOMAN SYNDROME': Don Lemon, Joy Reid criticize Gabby Petito story over race

Joy Reid argued that the Petito case an example of "missing white woman syndrome."

During Monday night's broadcasting of popular CNN and MSNBC shows, hosts Joy Reid and Don Lemon argued that the case of Gabby Petito, and the subsequent national attention the case has garnered, is evidence of widespread racism in the United States.

During The Reidout with Joy Reid, she argued that the Petito case is an example of "missing white woman syndrome," a term reportedly coined by the late PBS host Gwen Ifill.

Petito, who has been missing since late August after going on a cross country van trip with her fiancé, is presumed dead after remains were found in the Bridger-Teton National Forest that were "consistent with" the description of missing 22-year-old Petito.

"Now it goes without saying that no family should ever have to endure that kind of pain, and the Petito family certainly deserve answers and justice," said Reid. "But the way this story has captivated the nation has many wondering, why not the same media attention when people of color go missing?"

"Well, the answer actually has a name, missing white woman syndrome, the term coined by the late and great Gwen Eiffel, to describe the media and public fascination with missing white women like Laci Peterson or Natalee Holloway, all ignoring cases involving missing people of color," Reid continued.

Reid, talking with guests on her show Derrica Wilson, co founder and CEO of the Black and Missing Foundation, and Lynette gray bull, founder of Not Our Native Daughters, pointed to the case of Daniel Robinson, who went missing in Arizona after last being seen leaving his job site in June, as an example of what she's talking about.

George Floyd and Trayvon Martin are household names, but no one knows the names of the victims of black-on-black murder.

Rabid media racist syndrome is the correct name for this.

Given that the country convulses over dead black criminals, to be fair we should focus on white victims for a while /half sarcastically

To me she’s just an ordinary angry black woman activist who lucked out getting a gig as a host of a just as vile TV Production.

There is something quite unbecoming in their rant on this tragedy! Almost sounds like they are jealous of the coverage! Expectations of a quota based upon population or perhaps number of victims? Joy strikes me as being very joyless wearing her race-glasses all day every day!

No surprise. CNN has been openly racist for years.

The left runs the media. They certainly choose not to cover stories that hurt the Democrat party, they can certainly choose to cover stories of missing women of color.

In Post Constitution America, the plan is to turn the entire nation in to a kind of sub-Saharan America. Modeled after all the Oh successful nations (tribes) in that particular part of the world.

LOL, getting plugged in a drive-by shooting or shot by the cops before you can stab another black woman is not the same as “missing”.

"Now it goes without saying that no family should ever have to endure that kind of pain, and the Petito family certainly deserve answers and justice," said Reid. "But ...."

Allow me to finish her thoughts with an accurate translation:

'.... you can forget everything I said before the "but" because that was just pandering that I didn't mean and now I'll tell you what a really think: she doesn't matter and she doesn't deserve the attention because she's white.'

Perhaps they can name the one thing in America that is not racist.
