    some stories just catch on and the media jumps a long for the ride when they see people interested. The pregnant lady started as a blurb, but then snowballed into the intensive coverage we saw. Why? because there was probably demand for it and given population breakdowns it makes sense. I dont think its favortism or racism...just reacting to ratings.

    I think it is all a matter of numbers, there are more Anglo American television watchers, so it tends to make the coverage skewed because ratings are higher.

    I don't think there is any plot, I think the only color that matters to the networks is green.

    exactly. that was my point. just trying to get viewers to sell advertising. I dont think its purposeful race selecting.

    just because something is about money it doesn't justify. it usually makes it worse.
