Video: CNN covers the Christian-Newsom murders

[Jeremiah]

"As only CNN can, with a sneer that anyone who cares about what happened to Channon Christian and Chris Newsom, and why it happened, has to be a redneck bigot white supremacist. The report starts off citing an Aryan blogger and descends from there."

Interesting, lots of parts to this crime.

This is completely bs, if it was white on black crime you would've seen Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson's with their fist in the air.

RIP

So everyone who is concerned by the lack of coverage of this crime, in comparison to the coverage afforded White-on-Black crimes, is a racist?

Now I remember why CNN is crap.

I don't know, you gotta hate someone to rape and kill that person - "not a hate crime" is just a bad moniker to give to this heinous crime... Almost sounds like rape and murder is not a big deal as long as it wasn't racist.

Effing BS!

My blood boils when I hear liberal media with agendas belittle such a savage, brutal murder as a "random crime". I'm not saying that the murderes had racial motivation when they were pouring bleach into her throat and gang raping her, but it is still a sadistic and beyond brutal as to how these young individuals had to die. I've read articles that the local gov and the DA were reluctant to release details of the murders to the public.

Give me a F_kin break Miss CNN, if the victims were black and 4 white murderes, CNN would be the first one in February covering it with dramatic background music for weeks.

Where was CNN during the Duke case, how come CNN didn't make a show saying that the rape accusations were not of racial motivations but just a random rape case?? CNN would not dare suggest that in the Duke case because the Al Sharpotns and Jessie Jacksons would destroy the network.

Where was the media when Charles Barron from NYC council threatened the NYPD that the police will bleed too from the balck community after a black male was shot by the police. Did CNN jump on the case and say it was racist for black community in NY to incite killings against (white) cops?

No, assmonkey: Its not just a white supremacy group wanting to know where the outrage it. Many people wanted to know what the hell happened to the coverage of this case.

And WHY isn't it a "hate crime"? The two guys in Texas who "randomly" came apon a black man hitchhiking and decided to be sadistic scumbags and drag him behind their truck were charged with a hate crime. Why wouldn't those eight be charged with the same?

Simple. There is an element of the Jesse Jackson mindset who believe that Blacks CAN'T be racist so therefore there's no "black on white" hate crimes.

(Actually had this debate when I was going to college. Guy with "ABYS" - "Angry Black Youth Syndrome" was telling me that blacks CAN'T be racist because in order to be a racist you have to be the race "in-power".

I pondered, "so, in the US, a NEO-Nazi, KKK kind of white guy is clearly a racist because he's the 'race in power'?"

- Yes.

O.k. So, if this same Neo-Nazi, KKK kind of guy were to go to a country in Africa where the ruling power is black, he wouldn't be a racist anymore?

- Uh, no...he'd still be a racist because he hates African Americans

Well, he'd just hate Africans because he wouldn't be in the US - but you you said to be a racist you had to be in power?

- Uhhhhhh...YOU'RE A RACIST!
