Mass murder of white children has more political value then the mass murder of minority children.

John Kass, one of the few truth-speakers in Chicago media was on CNN yesterday, and articulated what many of us already recognize: The media doesn't seem to care that hundreds of Latino and African-American children are murdered every year in Chicago. It is not uncommon on a hot summer weekend for as many as as many as 50 people to be shot. Where's the outrage? The demands for action? These are "ghetto kids", so I guess it doesn't play into the media story line on guns:

“We make the Sandy Hook – which was a tragedy – a big deal. Why don’t the politicians come to the funerals of the dead African-American and Latino kids who get killed by the hundreds and hundreds and hundreds,” asked Kass. “The media has ghettoized these children, these homicide victims.”....“I’m not diminishing the others, I’m just saying, President Obama, show up at a funeral here in Chicago once in a while too,”

And he reminded us of just who President Barack Obama's mouthpiece is:

"a TIME Magazine reporter once compared former Chicago Mayor Richard Daley to Andy Griffith’s depiction of the sheriff of Mayberry. “Now that reporter is the press secretary for President Obama,” Kass said, referring to White House Press Sec. Jay Carney."

John Kass may be the only person in Chicago media that "gets it". I hope he doesn't let this story disappear.
