The news stations can't generate national uproar about 3 white kids killing another white kid just as they couldn't see fit to report about 3 black drug dealing thugs assaulting 1 one kid on a school bus.....because it isn't "newsworthy".
If they (the stations and newspapers) can't turn the story into rating points they just aren't interested.
Sorry, but that's the way I see it, based on our daily barrage of what the media thinks we should see and hear.

I saw this story on a few different sites and on the national news last night. Could it be that you see race in ever story and wanted more coverage b/c the perps. are black and the victim is white?
It does appear that if a story has any racial aspect you see a lot of people posting here who seem to never post otherwise.
