JonBenet or Raven Jeffries

Sure, JonBenet is all over the news. But has anyone heard of Raven Jeffries ?

Raven Jeffries was seven year old girl who was murdered, her body burnt and then dumped in a field. Of course, it never made the news. Was it because she was not blonde and white ??? Or was it because she was just a poor inner-city kid ???

I remember last year or so, there was a standoff in California between the cops and a "deranged" man holding his baby daughter hostage. If I recall correctly, the SWAT team shot (and maybe killed) the baby by mistake. Of course, the story never made it past one day on the air. Did it have anything to do with the fact that the father and daughter were Hispanic ???

I am sick and tired of the news networks going crazy everytime some suburban pretty white blonde kid/girl/woman goes missing. Whatever happened to reporting stories that really matter ?? I guess its all about ratings these days.

But is it completely the fault of the networks ? Or are stupid dumb viewers also to blame for tuning in watching these stupid 24 hour reports on missing white females ?
