Why aren’t you calling out the media for not covering these missing people?

We all know this to be true.

Looking up and researching the names of these missing people and finding such little information and results is so disheartening

According to the article some of these missing persons “have a history of going missing” - I’m not saying this is right but these cases are different. The Ana Walshe story when first reported was a woman from Cohasset going to work in DC missing her flight and going missing potential due to a ride share. This is extremely relatable to every single middle class woman in MA from towns similar to Cohasset. People like to hear stories where they go “OMG that could have been me”

And you just know how the pigs view “brown people” 🙄 (hint: with unreasonable misplaced disdain because ‘muh selective bootstraps’ and ‘muh selective personal responsibility’ and so on)

Somehow those scum-ass republicans really did make everyone believe that just because your skin is a certain color you abuse social systems / are inherently lesser

In light of the most recent missing persons posts on this subreddit, as well as on the news (Ana Walshe, Brittany Tee, Michael Gray, etc.) OP posted 15 PoC who are still missing in MA and have not been widely covered in news media or on this subreddit.

There's this thing called subtext and most reasonably intelligent people can understand subtext without having to be explicitly told. Do you consider yourself to be reasonably intelligent? If the answer is yes, then that answers your question.

If the answer is no: it is heavily implied in OP's post that news media and people in this sub do not acknowledge missing PoC the same way they acknowledge missing white people.

I know you agree with the sentiment, but the fact that you think it's necessary for somebody to exclaim "THIS IS WHAT THE MEDIA AREN'T TELLING YOU" is some silly shit.

(And for anybody reading this, you can say "media is" or "media are." Both are acceptable because media is plural for medium.)
