[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I laugh at those of you "shocked" this hasn't made the news. Newsflash: 99.99999999% of child sexual abuse cases don't make the news. Even if they're local. You're shocked because the rich white woman didn't make the news and I just don't understand why.[/quote]

How many of those 99.9999% of cases are perpetrated by rich, white ladies? (Or even just ladies?) It’s the incredibly unusual circumstances here that would seem to make it newsworthy. The media LOVES to expose the misdeeds of rich, white people.[/quote]

There has been a story on the Charlottesville CBS website and an article on the RTD website from another source.  This has not been mentioned on any local Richmond tv stations at all.  It is surprising because the family has strong Richmond connections, there are not many female child predators and generally white female predators DO make the news.  Think of all the stories of the white female teachers having sexual relationships with high school students.

Also, no Wash Post, WTOP, etc.   These outlets report tons of stories out of Charlottesville.

I do find this unusual.

White mom suburban housewife arrested for child porn and attempted sexual exploitation pretty much screams news headline, and definitely above the local level!

Plus, tons of visuals of her all over the place so it’s a pretty easy story to tell.  Go to Warrenton and do your standup in front of the motel.  [/quote]

Not really. Do you know how many terrible things actually happen to children every day, up to and including torture and murder? This is an extremely salacious story but no actual children were harmed. It’s main interest is local. At most you can expect coverage from the yellow press like NY Post and possibly some kind of C list Dateline show. [/quote]

I have worked in both local and network news.  Salacious sells, heartwarming not so much.

And yes, stories do get suppressed.   People to you what to cover and you do it. Not too many choices made at the lower level. [/quote]

Nobody is covering this up at WaPo or CNN. The bottom feeders that profit of this kind of crime (Daily Mail, NY Post) will cover it. [/quote]

If reputable news sources like WAPO and CNN don't report this kind of crime, how would people learn about it? You are indicating that reporting it to the public is only for "bottom feeders." [/quote]

why do you need to learn about this kind of crime though? it’s not news. it’s news in Richmond and that’s it. [/quote]

She traveled to Northern Virginia to commit the crime and is being charged in DC.   Definitely a local connection.  [/quote]
