CoolDMZ needs a new pair of shoes. squirty: are you for fucking real? did you just segue from a comparative study of news coverage to a claim that the local black traffic reporter is lacking in traffic reporting skills? seriously, you’re bumming me out. block out all the voices in your head except the one telling me whether the Astros turn it around, so i can place some bets.

Again statistically speaking you cant report a crime against a black without implicating a black perp. You cant report a crime against a white without a white perp. So if you are going to report on fewer black perps you have to report on fewer black victims. You cant have it both ways.

That's how the game works. Some missing people are 'just more interesting' than others. That's the way it goes. But I do know of the traffic reporter you speak and a lazy eye does not belong on tv.

You realy think the press (TV included) is a bunch of racists who sit around the desk talking stories and saying, “Oh- that’s just another missing black girl. Use the missing white girl story instead.”? You can’t swing a dead cat these days without hitting a black weatherperson, an Asian field reporter, a Hispanic (I know- not technically a race, but it’s the most practical PC term) opinion piece writer/commentator. Why, right here in Sacramento we have a black traffic reporter on TV telling us every morning about traffic back-ups that were cleared 30 minutes ago. To be honest, I’d rather look at her than the poor white girl they had who was always looking through the TV at something behind me over my shoulder. But the fact remains that it really seems like the press is pretty equal opportunity about its reporting. Maybe if all the yutzes who were glued to the Laci Peterson murder trial (you do know she was 1/2 hispanic, right?) picked a different trial to pay attention to, NBC would broadcast the real-time verdict at the Lawnquisha Kwanzaa murder trial too.
