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.

BREAKING NEWS: City Facing $1 Billion Dollar Gap
On the first day of launching, brand new Baltimore news site, Investigative Voice, breaks a major story. -- Raising alarm bells over a $1 billion gap between benefits owed to retired police and firefighters and the money to pay for it, an actuary representing the fire and police unions said the city must contribute more money now to close a precipitous funding gap caused by the market meltdown -- or face dire consequences.
It's Official: Baltimore Sun Blasted In Launch Of New Voice
0908 EST -- Baltimore, MD
Nearly four hours after The Baltimore Spectator broke the story in an exclusive report, Investigative Voice, the first Baltimore website exclusively dedicated to hard hitting investigative journalism was officially launched this morning on The Ed Norris Show. Co-founder Stephen Janis spoke about the importance of having an alternative voice in media asking questions and looking at issues often ignored.
Norris spoke of a slanted and agenda driven local stalwart, The Baltimore Sun. Lamenting that in just one week since the demise of The Baltimore Examiner, the Sun has already taken off on a clearly biased path. As Baltimore's only remaining daily paper, the Sun has no counterpart in the market to aid in maintaining integrity.
Janis added that in this, the digital age allowing free access and choice, there is now a second voice back in town. Citing the lack of overhead from having to print physical newpapers, Janis said "in the long term, this is gonna work."
