I have no interest in the Brit who shot his wife. It has no national implications...

This is why I tend to believe that the Traditional Media skews Right; not by the stories that they write/broadcast, but by WHICH stories they choose to present.

Endless tales of missing white women are an intentional distraction from the more substantive stories, IMHO.

should powerful or wealthy figures get special treatment before the law

There are a variety of ways to frame this incident and I am trying on many, including yours. I must say that your top angle--special treatment--is not one that would have occurred to me independently. I just don't have class disparity as a natural frame of reference.
