The FBI has arrested 17 black gang members connected to the murder of Jessica Chambers, a 19-year-old who was killed a year ago in Mississippi.

Chambers disappeared from a gas station while she was filling up her car with gas, and her body was found burning just a few miles from the station. 17 suspected gang members between the ages of 18 and 40 allegedly doused her with gasoline and then burned her alive.

The FBI says the men have been charged in north Mississippi as a part of a major operation called “Operation Bite Back.”

Chambers was killed Dec. 6, 2014. Even though this happened more than a year ago, there was little to no coverage about this story by the mainstream media.

From Clash Daily:

“If it bleeds, it leads.”

Before we switched to the 24 hour news cycle, the formula really was that simple.  The most tragic, gruesome news was always the Big Story. Earthquake, plane crash, that annoying boy band does a reunion tour. You know, the real tragic stuff.

There was more airtime to fill. Instead of just the reporting the news they gave more attention to how their wall-to-wall coverage could let them shape public opinion about it.

When selecting news stories they report, notice their story-telling angle. Seriously, it’s not about events, so much as story telling. There are heroes, villains and victims at every turn. And — shocker — the villains tend to always be people their beloved Democrats oppose or vilify.

…

So how does one tell the news when you are trying desperately not to tarnish the record of the party you used to work for? Tell a story that upholds the White House narrative. Splinter America into small groups, to play one against the other. Portray “target demographics” as victims which can then be easily exploited by the next nominee.

Barack Obama and George Zimmerman, for example each have one white parent.  But news (or Obama himself, for that matter) never emphasizes Obama’s maternal heritage. It doesn’t propel the narrative forward. Zimmerman was different. Because they had already cast him in the role of villain, he was described “white hispanic” on CNN.

They will ignore real stories with actual victims and instead give wall-to-wall reporting on a hunger strike by a pampered millionaire activist. If you are looking for real black victims you might read the obits on any long weekend in Chicago. I’d say “news”, but it apparently their deaths aren’t newsworthy enough to #matter.

It isn’t hard to prove their hypocrisy. Would it be newsworthy if a 19 year old black girl in Mississippi was minding her own business at a gas station surrounded by rednecks, and burned to death? Because, a year ago in Mississippi, 19 year old Jessica was dragged away and killed.

Her name was Jessica Chambers. Surely you know her story, saw a hashtag campaign in her memory. #JusticeForJessica or something like that?

No. And could that be because Jessica was accosted by a gang of 17 black thugs? And — one other detail –she happened to be white? Justice is supposed to be blind, and not biased. And so is our cowardly, politically-inbred media.

When you report a single broken window in Texas as a “hate crime”, but can’t be bothered to raise the issue of a 19 year old girl burned alive by 17 men? There’s a name for that… journalistic malpractice.

Couldn’t you even see fit to file the story under #WarOnWomen? You are pathetic: the whole lot of you. And you are exactly why the public and the New Media will not shed a single tear at your collective extinction.

Of course, the liberal media and America’s beloved race mongering hustlers like Al and Jesse will drop this like a hot potato. This tragedy conflicts with the narrative that all blacks are being persecuted by white people. Liberals much prefer the tale of a black innocent victimized by a racist white, even if they have to fictionalize the details.

The search for Chambers’ killers goes largely unreported beyond Mississippi, and the Obama Justice Department has no more interest in seeing it solved than do the media. Trayvon Martin, on the other hand, will forever remain in the chronicles of history next to Emmett Till, as a civil rights hero. Democrats are just using them to advance the narrative that America is evil and racist.

“Black lives matter” in the media, only if the perpetrator is white, and I guess “white lives” just don’t matter.
