What's Next?

It seems these days that all there is in the new is controversy. There is the Duke Lacrosse Players, Anna Nicole Smith and Imus...what is coming next? The article entitled "Press Pounces on Imus, but downplays Duke" written by Jennifer Harper of The Washington Times was in my opinion great. She made many valid points about the way in which the media covered each story. As she said, the Duke players were facing 30-years in prison and then Imus said one racial slur and got fired by CBS instantly. Where is the comparison? Both stories are about race but in a completely different context. The Duke players are considered to be "privileged" and men who will move on with their life after the support from their lawyers to get them out of their so called "mess." Being a college student, I see the way in which racial comments are offensive to people and also I see the party side and hear of strippers on our own campus...in my opinion, I think it is everywhere, and it is a matter of whether or not you get caught. Imus got caught. Why?...because it was said loud and clear on the Radio. The lacrosse players can't compare, because whatever happened, happened behind closed doors.

Let's see what the next media frenzy will be...
