Twenty-two year old Gabby Petito is dead. Authorities found her body in Wyoming. Her boyfriend, Brian Laundrie, returned home to Florida after Petito went missing on their cross-country excursion to national parks. Laundrie subsequently walked off into a wilderness preserve, presumably to flee from authorities who now wish to question him.
Hold on, the Woke, liberal, Democrat cheerleading media, who are pushing the story are complaining because they don't push the murderer POC young women and subsequent manhunt.
Hmm, seems a little hypocritical.
Here's another take, a white on white crime is fair game. If the biased and frankly racist media wanted to cover POC's murders all they need to do is go to Chicago. Oh, but then that's blacks killing blacks, nothing to see here.
If Gabby were black we would be treated to Al Sharpton and Biden himself talking about how she could have been their daughter, because narrative.
I do think the ongoing story/attraction is the manhunt. If he just committed suicide there with her, or turned himself in this would not be a story now.
Reid is another example of feeling it necessary to defend her decision not to cover the story rather than just walk on by. And really, complaining about the story being a story puts you in the mix, she is using the story for ratings.
Hannity has made a repeated point of noting the media silence to the carnage which happens every weekend in Chicago, and crickets are the reaction to his doing so. If there's such a thing as "missing white girl syndrome", as Joyless Reid puts it, then she and the rest of the Great American Leftmedia elites have only themselves to blame.
Not to mention violence against Asians... oh, but whom is perpetuating the violence? It's not not white people.
I think there is another angle here, and it's what passes for logic in the mind of a liberal.
My 20 something daughter had to stop in the middle of a conversation to assure me that her concern was not racially motivated. I didn't think it was, but SHE obviously could not voice her concern without thinking about race.
The liberal media first asks, will this look racist, will someone assume racial motivation? They put themselves in a box. They can't honestly cover violence as violence because they are too concerned about raaaaccciiiisssm.
And to say Americans only care about Gabby because she is white is simply saying America is racist.
Well written. Thank you. The complaint is true. Pretty young blonde murdered, boy friend on the run. Big news. Where this also draws interest is that its not a street murder in a big city. Same girl could be killed at Lenox Mall - it would make news for a few days and then on to the next story. But... Pretty young black girl killed in the same mall wouldn't likely stay on as long.
So there is truth in. But who controls the main stream media? That's right. Liberals. Who decides what stories to pursue? Liberals. So if your complaining at one of the NBC affiliates - go complain to your left wing colleagues. They are the one's making those decisions - it sure as heck isn't the public. They prove that every dog gone day.
Oh, and should mention. I think they should cover the murders that happen in the streets around the country. I think they should make it personal. I think they should show what trying too bring up children in a drug infested area is like. You want change - true change that will help too protect these kids and give them a chance - and open the door for all to see.
But here's the catch and this is why it will not work. It will be politicized. Rather than work together for solutions, the left will try and blame Republicans, even in places where Democrats have ran the show for 20- 40 years.
As Erick has pointed out often... It's all tribal now. Has nothing to do with what the right thing to do is. It has everything to do with power... And people living in drug infested environments stand little chance of getting out of that trap because of it.
I’ve followed this story since it began because we were traveling by car on a similar road trip to Colorado around the same time and listened to daily reports on the car radio. But also and, more importantly, it’s a frightening story about a young woman who was lost and abandoned against the backdrop of the incredible beauty of those massive spaces that still exist in our country. BUT! How is it possible you knew nothing about it? I cannot imagine this didn’t creep into your well connected news life. And you got one major fact wrong… the Video blogger who notified the FBI and Gabby’s family was a smart, humble 30 something mom who makes her living travel blogging. Her diligence and response provided this major lead that led to the location of the body. She was interviewed on Fox and plenty of other channels and she was both humbled and heartbroken over it. She deserves great credit for bringing this young girl out of the woods and back to her family. There is humanity left in the world and it matters not one bit who Gabby was but the tragic end of her life. Joy Reid can pound sand.
Sorry for the young lady and her family…not because of her internet popularity, but because her life was cut short in such a brutal way.

As much tragedy as there is in the world today why is it that someone always has to throw race in the mix. So sad.

Thanks. I really had not heard about it at all. And thanks for the catch on the Youtuber.
