Media Fail Pt. 1 -- Initial Reaction

They Don't Really Care About Us

Two people were shot Monday night in two separate incidents. Both happened within 15 minutes of each other.  One in East Baltimore, the other in West Baltimore.

The incident in East Baltimore involves a teenager shot in the head with injuries so severe, homicide detectives are investigating.

Coverage of these latest incident in Baltimore's continuing carnage was a disgrace on the nightly news.

From 15 seconds passing mention on one station, to no mention at all, it was made abundantly clear how unimportant these lives being lost in the city really are. They're not even worth talking about.

A message is being sent loud and clear to residents, especially youth, living in less than affluent neighborhoods. Whether you live or dies is inconsequential to us. You're of no value to society. Your stories isn't even worthy of being told.

In a special broadcast, I took to the air Monday night, doing my best to channel and control my rage to discuss the shameful, inexcusable marginalizing of the lives affected by the destruction taking place in Baltimore.

In part two of this series, we'll give a more detail breakdown of the precise amount of time given to the shootings by each of the local news outlets. These stories will continue to be tracked as we see how they develop within the news cycle.
