Instead of going on air trying to make this horrific death and it’s media coverage into some kind of ‘bias race issue’ as Reid is clearly trying to do. She should go to the MSNBC producers of her show and say that when this kind of situation happens involving a woman of color or different ethnic background we will cover it at the same level as the rest of media spends covering the ‘missing white woman’.
You see it is not a ‘syndrome’ as Reid tries to spin it. It is a simple case of the producers of all news shows who decide ‘what gets covered and how much time’.
Perhaps if Reid truly understood broadcast tv journalism then she would know how tv coverage is decided.
