Classism: Why doesn't the American media care about poor people and their children?

Elizabeth Smart, Laci Peterson, JonBenet Ramsey. What do these people all have in common. All were murdered right? But that's not all. All three of these people were what traditional American standards considered "innocent". Why? If you ask a typical black or hispanic person they will quickly point out that they were all white. All that pefect picture of "American Beauty".           But me, I'm not your typical "black guy". I look at things from different perspectives, my mother rasied me to believe in the human race. She also taught me to be smart enough to know that there are certain injustices forced upon people of certain cultures and colors that may never change.
          The world we live in today is different than the one she grew up in. Racism and discrimination is not as prevalent as it was then, just look at who's in The White House. But in today's twisted world the new problem we face is classism. Classism is defined as prejudice and/or discrimination on the basis of social class. Classism is on display everyday in the American media. Elizabeth Smart, Laci Peterson, and JonBenet were all people of a higher social class than I grew up in. What happened to each of them was terrible, but what's worse is the way the American media blitzes us with mass media coverage of these cases that have to do with people of higher class.
         Everyday we get beat in the head with stories that the media forces us to feel sad about, but the message is that the tragedies only happen to the upper class. Pardon my french, but that's bullshit. What happens to the intense media coverage of our children who go missing? And when I say "our children" I don't mean black folks, I mean lower and middle class folks whatever color. Consider this; In the state of Connecticut where I live we have had the story of the Cheshire Home Invasion shoved down our throats for 4 years now. If you don't know, it is an incident where two men invaded a home and murdered a mother and her two daughters. It was a terrible crime, I'm not saying it wasn't, but what about the day in 2006 when a man entered a home in my city of Bridgeport and killed a woman and her boyfriend, then chased down the woman's 9 year old daughter and stood over her as he murdered her in cold blood in broad daylight? What about little Kylie?
          Although the killer was convicted and is on death row what happened to the media blitz for that case? Why do these cases get different publicity? Simple, the Chesire Home Invasion involved an upper class suburban family and the Bridgeport murders involved lower class people from the inner city. And in case you don't know about the Bridgeport case, the victims were also white, not black. The poor don't have a color, they're just a shade that others pretend not to see. Who does the media care about?
