news media is politically correct in not calling the following hate crime to the attention of the general public. WHY?
I CHECKED SNOPES AND IT IS TRUE. HAPPENED IN JANUARY OF THIS YEAR 2007
Subject: Hate Crime is burried by the PRESS!
THIS GOES TO SHOW HOW MUCH CONTROL OUR NEWS MEDIA HAS OVER WHAT GETS
PUBLICIZED AND WHAT DOESN'T...AND I WONDER TO WHERE IS JESSIE AND
SHARPTON WHEN THIS HAPPENED...SO VERY SAD...
This particular incident is true (can be checked by clicking on Snopes link below). As in all incidents there will always be some contradictory statements but they were car jacked and killed, AND, I never saw a word in our local newspaper. If the roles were reversed we'd sure as hell have read about it.

The Brutal Murders of Christopher Newsom and Channon Christian-Truth!
Summary of the eRumor:
The eRumor tells of the horrific kidnapping, torture, and murder of Christopher Newsom and his girlfriend Channon Christian from Nashville, Tennessee. The story claims that she was forced to watch as Christian's penis was cut off, he was set on fire, and shot several times. Then she was allegedly tortured and sexually assaulted for 4 days, chemicals put into her mouth, her breast cut off, then murdered. According to the eRumor, five people have been arrested for the crimes. The eRumor asks questions like why the media has not covered the the story more widely such as the Duke University rape case, why people like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson are not helping the victim's families, why the ACLU and the NAACP are not calling for an investigation, and why the FBI is not looking into it as a hate crime. Then it answers those questions by saying that it must be because the victims were white and the suspects were black.
The Truth:
Although some of the details of the eRumor are not confirmed, the tragic story of the murders of Christoper Newsom and Channon Christian are true.
Authorities say both were raped, tortured, and murdered after being kidnapped on the morning of January 7, 2007. Five people have been indicted by a grand jury on a total of 46 criminal counts.
According to published reports, Newsom and Christian went out for dinner on the evening of Saturday, January 6, 2007. Police say their car was hijacked and the couple was tired up and taken to the apartment of one of the suspects. There Christian was reportedly raped in Newsom's presence then Newsom was shot and his body burned. Police have not confirmed that his penis was cut off and we have not found any credible source for that information. Police later found a fingerprint on an envelope in Christian's abandoned car, which led them to the apartment and where they found Christian's body in a trash can in the kitchen. She had been dismembered. Again, police have not confirmed the mutilation of her breast. Investigators say they later determined that she had been held for at least two days during which she was tortured, raped, and murdered. Newsom's body was found by a railroad worker near some railroad tracks in East Knoxville.
The story has been covered by both local and national media but not with the intensity of something like the Duke University rape case, in which two white students were charged with raping a black stripper at a party in March, 2006. All the charges against the students were eventually dropped but the case generated a lot of visibility and controversy along racial lines.
The murders of Newsom and Christian have become better known through forwarded emails and blogs than from national media. It would be difficult, however, to argue that it is because of racial bias. The O.J. Simpson murder trial was one of the most intensively covered crimes involving a black defendant with white victims. Rich Buhler, the founder of TruthOrFiction.com, has worked in the news media for more than 40 years. He said, "There are heartbreaking and horrifying crimes all over the nation every day that you don't hear about until, for example, you watch a true crime show or read a true crime book. Newsom and Christian were not only victims of human monsters but also became crime statistics that are, very tragically, all too common."
A real example of the eRumor as it has appeared on the Internet:
Bet you did not hear this news.
The animals pictured below; car-jacked, then raped Christopher Newsom, cut off his penis, then set him on fire and fatally shot him several times while they forced his girlfriend, Channon Christian, to watch. An even more cruel fate awaited her!
Channon Christian, was beaten and gang-raped in many ways for four days by all of them, while they took turns urinating on her. Then they cut off her breast and put chemicals in her mouth ... and then murdered her.
Where be the Revs Al and Jesse? Are they providing counsel and help to the families of the victims?
Of course not - the victims were white
Why hasn't this received National coverage by the news media like the Duke "rape" case?
Oh, that's right - the victims were white
Why hasn't the NAACP, ACLU, New York Times etc., called for an investigation?
Must be cause the victims were white
Why hasn't the FBI been called in to investigate this as a hate crime?
Oh, t hat's right - the victims were white"
So, if a white news radio jock uses the phrase "Nappy headed", it gets 2 weeks of constant news coverage.
If two white people are tortured, raped, and murdered by a group of black people, it barely gets a blip in the news.
Pass this around, and maybe, just maybe, it will land in the hands of someone in the media or politics, that has the balls to stand up for the white people!!!
