Elizabeth Smart? He is the most arrogant and racist individual on Tv and his minority status only keeps him there. He made a remark that Elizabeth Smart was treated different from a fictional homicide victim which was really out of order.
t.janseen: Funny the media threw the white lacrosse under the bus for a black prostitute who lied so I guess sometimes life is not fair. Even if what you say may have some validity to it, a tv show is not the venue to rant your beliefs and it certainly does not make the parents of these blue eyed blonde children feel any better to hear this rant by an actor.
The media is biased to the left and protrays criminals ans especially minorities as the victims in many cases. It may be true that white kids are highlighted more when missing but it may be because it is so rare and behavior in the black and hispanic community is treated with a differernce perspective. I believe the media in these missing children case and homicide are treated different by the media as in the criminal cases of blacks and hispanics is because they do not want to offend these communities by showing how prevalent these acts are.
 
seriously...

L&O uses real world Reference points all the time... and it is a basic fact of the media a Missing "pretty, Blonde, middle class, white girl" will get exponentially more media coverage than any 2 minority girls who go missing...

that we know the Names of Elizabeth Smart Jon Benet Ramsey and Natalie Holloway is proof of the phenomenon

do yourself a favor go to missingkids.com... and do a search for girls missing in the last year... now think back to all of the Missing kids you saw profiled on the National News, whether it is Cable TV, or supermarket checkouts

-- how much do you wanna bet the web search nets you the 'rainbow coalition' while the media search is more likely to net you "pretty, Blonde, middle class, white"
