is the news covering her cause she's white, or is it cause she was attractive and had a vlog with a huge amount of material that makes it easy to humanize her?

I understand why you think that. But black people have it a lot more difficult in America than whites even today, and it's difficult for whites to see that sometimes, so if a black person (e.g., Joy Reid) says something about race relations, I give it a lot of credibility.

Yup. But that take is too honest for grifters and liberals who want to make everything about race. Pretty people (of all races) are interesting, international finance, refugee crises, and macroeconomics are not.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_triviality …

I just watched a show I recorded last Tues. on CNBC. The upcoming news was advertised 2x, with numerous photos of G. Petito smiling. Her looks (white & attractive) are a bigger part of the presentation/marketing on TV than I thought. But let's not forget the victim: RIP Gabby.

If she was darker and and all else the same including the same white partner, would the American mainstream media frame it as a racist crime and play that angle?
