More Newsworthy Than the Zimmerman/Martin Affair

The news media have spent so much time on the Zimmerman trial that Americans have not been clued to more crimes that would be more newsworthy. I have a few to share. You can look them up.

• Wisconsin man found guilty of killing his three daughters. His trial started in March and he is awaiting sentencing. (Just heard about this today!)
• Dzhokhar Tsamaev was arraigned for the four deaths in Boston during the Boston Marathon. There have been a few motions and he has plead "Not Guilty." I've seen 10 minutes of coverage on this.
• Aaron Hernandez has been charged with murder and under investigation for more. Apparently, he wasn't as big a start as OJ. The news coverage suddenly dropped on this one, much like a quarterback with butter fingers.
• There have been 59 murders in Kansas City. Has no one outside of Missouri heard about this? Seems newsworthy to me. I know, the majority of victims were black males so apparently no one cares. 
• The number of homicides in Chicago has reached 200 and NONE of them have rated national coverage. In one night, two kids were killed! A whopping 80% of the victims were black and that isn't worth of national news!

Come on folks! Do you want the news or circuses? The new media is more likely to provide little in the way of REAL news. They focus on what causes the greatest tension, unrest or shock 'n awe.
