When Gabby Petito went missing, internet sleuths, national media and multiple law enforcement agencies all worked to find answers. Could that same level of attention help find answers for other families? New research highlights how some missing person cases are treated differently than others.
The PEOPLE OF SOCIAL MEDIA HELPED FIND HER. I’m so sick of hearing about it’s because she’s white it got her attention that’s just not the case. ALL WE HEARD FOR A YEAR WAS GEORGE BREENA WHAT ABOUT TREYVON JENNKINA JENKINS ETC
True
As long as she was found is all that matters 🙄
LIVE PD HIGHLIGHTED MISSING PERSON AND EVEN FOUND MISSING PERSONS POC AT THAT. But who got rid of that. Maybe all of you and your media need to start stepping up and start putting missing person on your platform every segments
Total thumbs down for this story. I heard these EXACT same talking points and statistics, today on npr. They should only be talking about how many crimes are being solved, NOT how they are reported. The Gabby Petito case was sensationalized by the media, because it is much more interesting than “a woman shot in a trailer by her husband”. The media is the guilty party KSL, and race/culture has nothing to do with it.
Why does everything have to be about race nowadays like seriously just stop it races just a made-up social construct scientists came out and said that race doesn’t even exist it is just darker pigmentation that is literally just skin deep just stop it
the people that I have seen lately who are most sick of the race card are black people, ironically. All this talk about “missing white woman syndrome”..obviously some people have never heard of the boy who cried wolf. Pretty soon they are going to find out because their “base” audience is eroding, the signs are everywhere. Nothing lasts forever KSL…not even a huge, organized propaganda media
BECAUSE EVERYTHING IS ABOUT RACE!!! WE ARE TREATED DIFFERENTLY
So sad 🙏🏻
Wow. Maybe there is hope for some news reports after all✌🏾
But, so much effort in bringing in people at the S. Boarder ride a horse next to a Haitian and the House is ANGRY. Where’s the Anger & Outrage for Our Native People 1st‼️
Couldn’t roll my eyes any harder.
>BUT WAH ABUT MAH PERSON OF COLOR
Start covering it then KSL, if it’s such an issue to you.
You are ignorant sir
I live on the Wind River Indian Reservation and Native People are NOT as important! THAT is the truth! it IS THE TRUTH, here and in Canada! OUR PEOPLE do not seem to matter!
I’d like to highlight the fact that if the folks in the Petito case were not white, then the young beautiful blue eyed blonde would still be alive. The police allowed them to move on even though there was a “Definite” problem with these to when they were pulled over. If they were “Of Color” they would be locked up for fighting and alive today. Soo sad.
That’s what im saying
You are correct, the police probably made some mistakes. But the real bottom line… race is not a factor (unless you work for the media).
@guy race is a big factor!!! If this were a black couple both of them would have been arrested and charged .
👍🏾
>600,000 people go missing every year in the USA … I hear about almost none (granted I mostly only watch national news and not a lot of local news). Race is definitely a factor on the coverage missing people get, but I wonder how many other factors contribute (eg. sex, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, age, location, etc.)? Gabby was more than just white- she was pretty, 22, a social media influencer with a following, had ties to New York and Florida, a huge family that went on every media outlet, and a fiancé that wouldn’t say a word … the media loved it and we were all suckered in. I hope somehow this tragedy will push for less disparity amongst media coverage of missing people and, if they don’t, hopefully we as a country feel more compelled to look up missing people independently and do our part. 😞🙏🏻
You want to be ashamed of yourselves bringing race into it..more propaganda
Oh dear racism again. If the it is a problem how about the media advertising missing people. Quite often police aren’t told.
I pray for Gabby and her family.
Ksl is just awful
as much as it sucks to hear there not wrong white privelage
I’m glad Gabby is getting all of this help to catch her murderer. Rip. It’s horrible but there is some truth to the fact that this case is getting more attention because she is a young pretty white blonde girl. Let’s be real. Again I’m not saying she should not ave got this help I just wished more people did. Sad all the way around. I hope they find that sob.
I was agreeing with you then I thought for a second. Your a media outlet too. Have you been posting people of colour that go missing ?
This is great. The MSM calling the MSM, racist. All of the media mouthpieces should have to do a cringy PSA where they apologize for being racist, even the black ones. Hope they’re all fired!
Biggots will always find a way to turn a social justice issue into an ‘attack’ because on them somehow. So who’s really ‘making it about race’? To try to prevent BIPOC advocates from highlighting an issue as serious as this is disgusting. Like parrots, they repeat the same, “They don’t care about Gabby Petito,” when I’ve literally never heard that from anyone. They keep explicitly stating that they do care about this tragedy. That’s not what this discussion is about. It’s about publicity.
