The worst part is that people actually believe it. The media could have gone so far with facts - like him being a murderer and dangerous - but instead he is laced with poetic adjectives that make him seem less than what he truly is. Because of it, this murderer is just seen as a white boy gone astray to most, and is probably pitied. It's ridiculous.MadHatternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-528074983146803930.post-72957056085770479262009-05-10T00:23:00.000-07:002009-05-10T00:23:00.000-07:00You are right about that Spider.

As for the 'glowing terms' the author used for Merkoff he was being sarcastic and saying how the white-led MEDIA is going to paint him a glowing and favorable light even though he's a dangerous lowlife. So learn how to read between the lines and you seriously need to follow your OWN advice because you are exactly the same delusional type of person the writer was referring to.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-528074983146803930.post-63085261689227487202009-05-09T10:18:00.000-07:002009-05-09T10:18:00.000-07:00Another aspect of this case is the almost complete...Another aspect of this case is the almost complete erasure of the victimized women. I've seen the mainstream media and blogs (that is: blogs that should know better) heap all kinds of sympathy on the Markoff's "shocked" fiancee and very little sympathy for the victims and their families. I guess, like Markoff, his fiancee is white, young and middle class so her anguish is more worthy or something.Spidernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-528074983146803930.post-23459497558412761962009-05-08T23:17:00.000-07:002009-05-08T23:17:00.000-07:00I never seen the term "clean" used for anybody tha...I never seen the term "clean" used for anybody that is black and accused of a crime.

No matter how nicely-groomed a black man is, he is never described by the media as "clean-cut" (let alone "All-American").Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05547276964406239821noreply@blogger.com
