The squeaky wheel gets the grease...

Rich white kids + poor black woman = Sensational!

Jock + Woman = Not as sensational

Black man + Geek = Shhh... Portraying black people as criminal is RACIST

It's kind of like asking why people are still obsessed with Natalee Holloway when women go missing every day in this country and nobody says boo about them. When news changed from a public service provided by the "Big 3" to a 24 hour, for-profit enterprise, the focus on news gathering instantly changed to "find the story that puts the most eyeballs in front of the TV."

Infotainment.

True

Also Props to Rush and his Lawyer for picking this weekend to keep his Drug case under the Radar. With all the hoopla over the Illegal Immigrant situation, the fact that he is an admitted Druggie doesn't matter.
