Time for another Rant.

What’s the deal with media’s reporting of missing people? I mean, look at all the ones that gets all the coverage. They’re usually young white attractive females. Elizabeth Smart, that crazy Wisconsin girl, that other Utah girl, Amber (of the Amber Alert) just to name a few. In the past year, have you heard of anyone disappearances/kidnappings in the last 3 years or so that doesn’t fit this description? OH yes, there was a one, one 10th story about a little African-American girl that was kidnapped and escaped her captors by herself. To escape her captors on her own is quite a feat, and had she been a young white attractive female, she probably would be the national hero for a good week or so and probably get a book and movie deal. Instead, she gets a slap on the back for a good job of not wasting the communities’ resources looking for her.

Fact is people, there are a lot of young people who goes missing. Boys and Girls, of all races and from families rich and poor. Do a better job broadcasting on ALL these children when they go missing instead of just concentrating on the young white attractive females that will get you good ratings. I understand that people are idiotic, bias, and more sympatric towards that population, but everyone deserves the same attention from all of us when they are in trouble. Just think how you would feel if you or your children were not in that young white attractive female group and something happened to you and no station would pick up your story.
