Did CNN just show a picture of an African-American kidnapped child
They finally chose an amber alert somewhere that wasn't a blonde white? Had to be the wrong picture.

1. They do local amber alerts around here
for brown kids all the time. It's just really unusual for CNN to do one.

Must be some money, somewhere, or a familial connection to a black GOPer.

3. Its what story the national media chooses, any amber alert situation leads
the news locally, as they should. But there is a pattern to the ones the national media chooses to pick up and air.

7. There were two blonde kids missing too.
As they showed in on the news program I was watching (paraphrasing):

Breaking News: Amber alert! Two white blond children were missing after their van was carjacked. Here's their picture. Aren't they cute? The girl's four and the little boy is two. They were found a few hours later.

Oh yeah, and some black kid is missing.

In other news- Mayor Bloomberg's car was stolen. He wasn't in it at the time. The Lexus was found a few hours later. Isn't that funny?
