Is political correctness to blame for lack of coverage over horrific black-on-wh

Oct 18, 2009, 3:25 PM

It was the kind of crime that strikes terror into the hearts of parents everywhere.

A bright young couple were carjacked after a Saturday night date and murdered in the most brutal way imaginable.

Christopher Newsom, 23, was tied up and raped, shot in the back of the head and then dragged to a railway track and set on fire.

His girlfriend, 21-year-old University of Tennessee student Channon Christian's fate was even more horrific.

Her death came only after hours of torture, during which time she was raped and savaged with a broken chair leg.

She was beaten in the head and a household bleach was poured down her throat and over her bleeding and battered genital area in an attempt by her attackers to cover any evidence of rape â€“ all while she was still alive.

Then she was â€˜hog-tiedâ€™ with curtains and a strip of bedding and a plastic bag was wrapped over her face.

Her body was stashed inside five bigger rubbish liners and dumped in a bin, where, according to the autopsy report, she slowly suffocated to death.

Another waste of valuable space goes on the ignore list.

"Where was CNN?"

LMAO! One of the pictures in your article came from CNN.com!: zimbio.com

AND

It was all over CNN at the time of the murders (even your racist buddies in the white supremacist movement agree on this!): stormfront.org

AND

Here's a black CNN commentator talking about this case: cnn.com

BTW, these kind of stories are LOCAL STORIES of no meaning to the vast majority of people in the USA. They shouldn't be on ANY national network IMO, period.

I'm glad you stated "IMO, period".
