It's one of the problems with a free media. They have to sell the news. Unfortunately, the news that sells is rarely the news that matters.

I have a better comparison:
The coverage of the abduction of Danielle Van Dam compared to the coverage of the abduction of Jahi Turner.
Never heard of Jahi? Yeah, thought so.
He's still missing, and he was abducted around the same time as Danielle.
After those first couple days, the media slowly moved on......
A cute little white girl who's parents are swingers and a murderer who liked child porn? RATINGS!!!!!!
An innocent African-American toddler living in the ghetto and his grandmother has flown across the country to find him? Naw, just another story.......
