Sound off on white couple beaten by dozens of blacks, and subsequent cover-up
It's just a local crime story not worthy of media attention
People were not seriously injured, and that's the normal criteria for news coverage
It was responsible of the media not to sensationalize a racial attack
The current firestorm of coverage is itself racist
The event, though unfortunate, was an understandable reaction to the Trayvon Martin case
The columnist who reported it failed to mention the couple's actions to provoke this crowd
There's no credible evidence this is actually a hate crime or race based
Media hysteria over Trayvon Martin no doubt prompted this
It makes me wonder what other incidents the press is covering up
If it were dozens of whites pummeling a black couple, it would be the lead story on every network
The cover-up by the newspaper is astonishing -- especially since the victims work there
The Virginian-Pilot should change its name to 'Rudderless'
How extreme does black-on-white crime need to be before the media consider it newsworthy?
