"News" Seems To Be Where And Who It Happens To



I read a whole few paragraphs in the Monday STAR- of the incident on I-70 near the Sports Complex Sunday morning where someone shot into a family's SUV- killing one and wounding all but an infant occupant.


I would think that a freeway homicide of what appears to be innocent people would be front page news in the Local section- not a few paragraphs on Page 3.

Would the coverage been a little more in-depth had this occurred on I-35 or U.S. 69 in Johnson County- and the family had been white?

Also- Channel 4's photographers (or somebody down there) seem to be asleep- there was only "locater" video taken of the shooting- in the daylight.

I realize this wasn't a Britney Spears story- but damn people- come on!
