Everyso often throw in a minority death in a minority neighborhood to re-enforce the target audience's biases. Sell the people what they want. There is a story people want to buy and it is difficult to tell anything different.Marihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12378722789147387229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21586244.post-1156266338191985382006-08-22T12:05:00.000-05:002006-08-22T12:05:00.000-05:00Don't even get me started on this subject.

I am baffled why the media are covering this creep in such depth other than for the obvious sensationalism which easily distracts us from the mess in Iraq. As for coverage on the local murder scene. The local writer George Pelecanos, invariably, makes mention of this practice in his books when he talks about the high profile murders versus the "In Brief"/Metro section death in an alley murders. They definitely set a hierarchy on life in this town.Washington Cubehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02892459114050731786noreply@blogger.com
