Channon and Christopher aged 21 and 23 who were a young couple from Knoxville Tennessee ,they were both raped tortured and eventually killed after they were kidnapped in January 2007 following this the five suspects were arrested and charged and they were found to be having multiple conviction on each of them. According to reports, Channon and Christopher had gone out for a date but they never returned home but it turned out that they were carjacked and blindfolded by three black men where they took them to a rented house in Chipman street where they carried out their mission.
This case was highly criticized because the media ignored the story since the victims were white and the suspects black where the updates of the proceedings came mostly from non- traditional channels also this criticism was fuelled by incorrect earlier reports that indicated mutilation and also dismemberment of the suspects meaning that the media was against the suspects since it was their duty to produce and relay correct information. This case also attracted white supreme personalities led by Linder Alex who rallied in protest of the murder where they were met by large number of protestors who were mostly dressed in clowns which is a paradox according to ku Klux khan
Racism is highly criticized which include mainstreams controversies that include national review and white superiority which has led to people wondering on why the rape and killing never got the same attention from liberal media compared to reverse cases. Media is said to have blacked out from this case where its usually seen in the US that the black on white crimes are usually ignored and these violent actions goes down the memory hole this is a ,method commonly used in communist dictatorship so as to rewrite on what happened on the past so as to paint the rosy tomorrow as a result of distorting today’s events therefore America media is liberal and has adopted the Pravda mode of journalism .in the case of Channon and Christopher , it’s worth noting that and to chastise a national media that most times ignores white victims of black racial hatred with a motive of setting a false and disastrous narrative that paints America as generally racist and this is very evident and the whole case criticizes the media since its liberal bias and it failed to cover the attacks and much of the scant coverage have been in the internet through blogs and websites.
Race is seen as a very critical issue in America where its seen as obsession where a horror story of rape as murder of Channon and Christopher never ended up in the media and this was because blacks were involved here It is argued that people tends to see African American suspicious and associate them on their dressing and cultures to crimes .authorities are also in the criticism since they were not willing to give out information.
