It's the top story now, because it blew up on social media with people saying "hey, why isn't this being reported on?". The event happened yesterday, and it wasn't "breaking news" or anything (except for local news). Whereas things like....Anders Brehvik, Ferguson, Malaysia airlines missing, etc. were instantaneous headlines. 

And about the rioting, if I pull up a news article of white people rioting, that'd kinda disqualify it from it not being reported on (but that would just prove his point if I couldn't find any articles. Because that would mean that the media doesn't show it when white people do it). What Fenton was saying was that it doesn't get "blown up" and become a part of the national discussion like when black people do it.

In none of those instances were they called "thugs" or "savages" or were they condemned for "making white people look bad". In the local news where these things happened, they're called "revelers" and that they "had a little too much fun". And it stopped being news after about 12 hours

For the same reasons why you never see any good news or things about russians in american news. They're politically motivated and will choose what stories they think is good for the american peop....opps I meant *will choose what stories they think are interesting to the american people.

what kind of debate is there to be had with a "zionists" conspiracy advocate like you

in your 3 posts in this thread you didn't show the slightest bit of compassion for the victims, making it clear that they are just a convenient excuse to you to talk about your conspiracy theory

Because there is no systemic (and unjustified) distrust of white people like there is black people. And there is no pattern of black cops killing unarmed white people. 

Something like Ferguson was a "We're fed up with this" moment. 

Which indicates that it's not about an agenda. The media only has one agenda, and that is grabbing eyeballs. If something is blowing up on social media, they'll report on it because they think it's something that interests people enough to watch.

But otherwise, why should this be a national news story? This isn't the largest spree killing in history, nor a midwestern town in flames, nor the disappearance of a couple hundred people. It's three random people you've never heard of before being murdered, which, sadly, is not all that uncommon.

It is on CNN. posted 40mins ago.

Three killed at UNC

You're not doing my work for me, you're not doing your own work...which is sources and backing up your claims.  Otherwise you're just spitting nonsense that you can't even back up, which means you've already gotten too much attention for your little rant you can't back up

You make it sound as if them being attractive or unattractive makes any difference.  Them being muslim or not muslim doesn't make a difference either.  Your stance just seems very shallow and immature.  As if they were fat and ugly it wouldn't be as much of a tragedy

A lot of news stories shouldn't make national headlines. But the disdain for this case "not being reported" on actually is, in fact, about an agenda, or so the people complaining claim it is.

You can sell race baiting. You can sell "intolerance" (referencing gay marriage, for example). You can't sell Muslims being victims. No, they're the "enemy" and are, statistically, one of the most distrusted groups in America. And the situation makes white people look bad, if this guy really did kill them because they are Muslim. The culmination of that is the agenda: if Muslims are the perpetrators, they're terrorists, Islam is to blame, etc; if the victims are Muslim....ignore it. Because that would shake up the status quo and show that Muslims, by and large, are good people. 

Probably, to see if there was any ties to ISIS or any terrorist group...that would be a legit reason.
