Nowhere is the media more dishonest than in their coverage of the media, and thats saying something considering their overall level of dishonesty.

If it was an overweight, acne-scarred white woman it wouldn't be news. The key is having the little pic to show of the smiling attractive woman. See the Peterson case.
People consider it far more of a tragedy, and feel much more empathy, when an attractive person is killed.
If you can't be honest about yourself then, odds are, you won't be honest about anything else.
