What do these people have in common? Are they all children, female, rich, famous? No.
I?m frustrated with the media?s racial bias when it comes to reporting missing people.
Now we have the latest national stories, Natalie Halloway missing in Aruba and George Smith missing from a cruise ship. Seems the only people reported on a national level are missing white people.
Since the media haven?t been doing their job, Reyna Gabriella Alvarado-Carrera(age 13) was reported missing 6 days prior to Natalie Halloway. Why no stories? The Reyna case should be more sympathetic then a 17 year old high school student on a luxury class trip, poorly supervised, underaged drinking and from all accounts voluntarily leaving with strangers. Where are all the alleged ?liberal media?? One would think they would occasionally be interested in some missing minorities.
In case the media are interested some cases they could run.
Chicago sisters. Diamond (3) and Tionda(10) Bradley disappeared July 2001
7-year-old Alexis Patterson disappeared in May 2002.
