Watch the following YouTube video, it is very interesting, and it shows very disturbing facts about today's media. They attack Don Imus for a single statement, but refused to cover this torture and murder. It's important that we know how the press is deliberately covering up the truth.

For those people who care, the video is well worth watching.

The video is called "Michael Savage - Black On White Hate Crime"

Sadly, discussing black on white crime as well as black on black crime is politically incorrect.
I'm not sure how to address the issue either. All crime is crime as far as I'm concerned, and until we realize we are all involved it will continue to be a "race" issue or "their" problem.
Cover up may be the appropriate term, fear of being accused of being racist by pointing out the facts, You know there are some out there who will jump on the bandwagon and scream about the way black on white crime is reported no matter how it's done.
Wrong, absolutely.
We need to get back to common sense. There's a concept. Crime is crime, news is news not editorial, right is right and wrong is wrong.
As long as we blur the picture to appease any group in the community, the disparity will do us more harm than good.
Ignoring an infection doesn't make it go away, it just gets worse.

I agree that the media is liberal and does not report the news accurately, but I disagree with your statement. I am also appalled by the answers given to your question. The media may be trying to be politically correct, but crime against any person of any race should be reported accurately. I do not believe any generalizations about any race should be made by the media or any person. Any form of racism or bias should be ignored. I detest generalizations made about race, ethnicity, religion, or sex. The media is very liberal, and you're just citing one incident. Some are only happy when the media agrees with their point of view no matter if they are liberal or conservative. There is no such thing as an unbiased news report. However, there are bigots all over this world whether they be white, black, Asian, or any other race.

There is no 'media'. There is no conspiracy. Different media companies are in competition with each other. They have different staff, different agendas, different everything. Occassionaly a story won't be covered in a conventional way because of the danger it may place on people involved. An example is an aid worker in Iraq was kidnapped last year. Media outlets waited until he was returned to New Zealand before announcing he worked for a US arms company as a summer job while at school. Announcing that while he was in captivity would have meant certain death for him. This is why some stories seem to be cover ups, but there is no conspiracy!!!!! It's individual editors who make the decision as to whether a story makes publication/broadcast.

If every black on white crime was covered, the level of hatred would be overwhelming. Not that it shouldn't be, we've been bowing to the blacks for 40 years. Time to get the truth out. No place in the history of the world, was ever made better by blacks running the government. They are natural murderers. I could go on forever but would probably just get banned by guess who. those and the nieve liberals.

I have been aware of this situation since it happened. I have forwarded this incident to everyone I know.
I will contact the knoxville d.a. and ask them to seek the death penalty.
I will rally and support the family of the victims.
And I wont hold a grudge against the families of the accused. I forgive the accused for doing this violent crime. Jesus told us that if want mercy, we must grant to others. That takes care of the issue personally, but not civilly, So the accused if convicted they should pay for their crime with their lives.
