    And why is this a national story? Not just a national story but The #1 story around the country? Don't complain about Nancy Grace, runaway brides and missing cute white girls any more. This story has topped them, collectively. No perspective or context for this case is generally offered.

    Al Sharpton, journalist, activist, racist asshole. The distinction between Rev Al and Glenn Beck is lost, except Fox had the integrity to let Beck go.

    Corrupt government, racism, gun violence, pretty white girls.

    All equally important issues on the national scale, apparently.

    No. But where Sharpton goes intelligence leaves.

    Why is this a National story? It's a local murder. Why not bang the NRA on this?

    BTW. OJ got more balanced coverage than the guy who hasn't even been arrested yet

    It's not a national story. It's an international story.

    You really don't understand why?

    it's an example of the complete racism in this country? Young black men are gunned down by non black men in epidemic proportions?
    But let's be sure not to have a gun control argument? Let's make sure the world isn't provide the abberational context of this shooting. And let's talk about the hundreds of victims killed since this particular one.

    Google Shawn Tyson murder Sarasota Florida tourist and then find out where's The Rev Al.

    no context in this story. No perspective. No objectivity. And a refusal to cover the bigger issue, readily available guns.

    Chicken shit coverage. Low hanging fruit and sensationalism.
