Law and Order SVU party at Trimms tonight!!!!       

You bring the chia.   

don't forget the botaskins! (did I get the name right?  that sounds nasty)

I think you meant botabags...they're what we carry our Boone's Spring  wine in. Cos, see, we refuse to support the George and Cynthia Anthony foundation for stopping of wine flutes.

  That's cuz we're sophisticated, worldly, pinky in the air types  ( and I think it's boones Farm,  just sayin)

Uh..well.. see, I was starting the cocktail hour early today and decided to mix my Boone's Farm with my Annie Green Springs.*hic* It's a reasonable mistake...just ask Boo

Tevye, it is perfectly proper etiquette to mix Boone's Farm with Annie Green Springs. It's done in the highest of Hippie circles. So drink on young Lady and don't forget to stick that pinky out for balance.

On a wonderful note, I can post pics of my main man ALLLLLL night long and be ON TOPIC.

So do you monkeys think handsome, muscular Det. Elliot Stabler will take very long to figure out that "Casey" killed Caylee?

[Grandma2Maddie]

I hope and pray this helps convict her ass!!!  I want her and anyone else who helped in covering up after the fact goes down big time.  They all make me sick and I hope they all rot in HE&^!!!

Now Nancy Grace is saying the photos of Casey's car are at the Amscot and they are in the new doc dump....

Don't yell at the messenger. I'm just reportin'.

Missing White-Girl Syndrome
Reported by: Allison Watts, Executive Producer
Email: AllisonWatts@13wham.com
Last Update: 3:19 pm 


By now you have probably heard of the story involving the missing girl from Gates-Chili high school.  She went on Spring break and has been missing since Saturday night.  We first found out about the story when someone called the newsroom Sunday night.  We immediately started making some calls to police and authorities to check it out.

Every time there is a missing person’s case, we have a tough decision to make.  There are so many people who go missing every day.  Mothers, fathers, daughters, co-workers, and friends.  We take calls in the newsroom from loved ones begging us for coverage.  It is so hard to decide which ones we should air. 

One thing I know I am very sensitive to – is falling prey to what some people call the “missing white girl” syndrome. They are missing girls who become somewhat “celebrities.” The media devotes hundreds of hours of TV time to their disappearance.  Their names: Caylee Anthony, Natalee Holloway, Laci Peterson, etc. I could go on. 

I read an article on Poynter (Journalism Institute) that described their common characteristics: 

They are white.
They are female.
They are young.
They are either cute or attractive.
They are middle class or upper-middle class.
They are the center of a mystery: either "where is she" or "who killed her."
They have advocates who are capable of keeping their names in the news.
They have a photo or video record of their lives that can be used, over and over again, by television producers.
So I make sure I can answer these questions to myself.  Would we cover the story if it were a black or Latino teenager?  What if the child was poor?  What if it was a man/boy? Or what about teens from the city? Or adults for that matter? 

I also ask these questions: Are the police involved?  How serious are they taking the case?  Are there unusual circumstances?  How old is the person/child?  Is Missing/Exploited Children involved? Sometimes I go with a gut feeling as I did in the case of the missing Chili girl.   

These are the difficult questions we have to ask ourselves.  I hope I never have to go through something as heart-wrenching as looking for missing loved ones. I empathize with anyone who has been through it.

On a final note—I wanted to end with an excerpt from an old Poynter article.

“Please try and think of exceptions to this coverage if you can. Perhaps you recall the recent case of murder involving relatives of actress and singer Jennifer Hudson, who lost her mother, brother, and nephew. Jennifer Hudson gained her fame through "American Idol" and her Oscar-winning performance in "Dreamgirls," and it was her celebrity that drove the news coverage, not the plight of her missing 7-year-old nephew.

Do you remember his name? It was Julian King. If he had been a pretty white girl, it would probably be on the tip of your tongue.”

Hi Northern Rose, I don't know who this Allison person is, but she is saying only pretty white girls get coverage? This is what I would say to Miss Allison:

Let me see, what about Sandra Cantu? She was HISPANIC Miss Allison Watts. She was not upper/middle class, she lived in a trailer park.

I see her point about the media coverage of upper class white people that are missing, but we have an upper class white middle aged lady that is missing here and there is no National or even local coverage. So Miss Allison, I say to you, if you think people only fall prey to "Chili" girl stories, you are wrong. If you are a REAL journalist, then make ALL missing persons your priority just like Red and all the mods do at SM. 

Sorry for the rant and I just walked in the door and didn't look at the link you posted, I probably should have looked at it. This wasn't directed to you Northern Rose. I don't even know who this Allison person is, so maybe JSM should go grab a beer and shut her yap.

No offense taken.  I was just as outraged when I read it.  Just such a slow day decided to post it to spawn conversation. 

[no rose colored glasses]

The Amscot video will show that there was not two guys pushing Casey's car into the parking lot because she ran out of gas, but instead abandoned the car, in hopes someone would steal it.
