The Newest Duke Rape Case (Wizbang)

You won't hear anything about this one on the mainstream media. Mike Adams explains at Town Hall:

Frank Lombard is the associate director of Duke's Center for Health Policy. The university administrator was recently arrested by the FBI and charged with offering up his adopted 5-year-old son for sex. I tried to contact Frank Lombard over the weekend to probe his expertise regarding the health benefits of raping small children. So far, he's declined to comment.
University administrator Lombard is accused of logging on to a chat room online and describing himself as a "perv dad for fun." The detective who wisely looked into the suspicious screen name says that Lombard admitted to molesting his own adopted son. All this was before allegedly inviting a stranger to travel to North Carolina from another state to statutorily rape his already-molested adopted son.

Lombard is also gay and his adopted 5 year old son is black, so it isn't difficult to surmise why the politically correct mainstream media won't touch this story with a ten foot pole even though that same mainstream media jumped on the bandwagon that the white Duke lacrosse players were guilty of raping a black stripper even though there was no evidence what so ever.

Except that it's on ABC, CBS, MSNBC, and the AP wire service.

Trajan:

To say a story is being "covered" says nothing
about the frequency and intensity of the
coverage. Sara Palin is not our vice president,
yet she is being "covered" by the leftie medium
ad nauseum with more vim, vigor, and venom
than the current veep is. Duke lacrosse players, and Sara are "legitimate" targets in
their world and should be excoriated. A
gay reprobate and a bumbling veep rate only
a few words now and then.

Trajan sees what I see, Biden's goofball comments ignored by press, comedians etc...same with the O!. Palin portrayed as impossibly ignorant rural rube, just like Bush. Another site compared how the Enron scandal was huge news, but specifically that it was a republican scandal because campaign donations were made to republicans. Has anyone here seen the Madoff scandal represented as a democrat scandal even though he was huge contributer to Schumer and crew?

Had to search for Lombard to find the story. Child strangled by Python, and stories about Blanket Jackson were more prominent. And of course, Gov. Sanford

No, Aaron
The point is unlike the Duke Lacrosse team incident, this case does not fit the meme, so it is not plastered across the headlines and newscasts.
"Privileged" white boys rape poor impoverished black stripper at illegal out of control party was too good a story, fit too many preconceptions and prejudices, for the press to ignore. So despite evidence to the contrary, they rushed to judge and ran with the narrative. And the Duke professors joined in (88 of them).

So where are the professors writing public denunciations of their coworker, the pedophiliac incestous rapist?

By all means, let's encourage the MSM to a) introduce us in great depth to a 5 year old who has been subjected to inappropriate conduct by an adult. We should make that kid's name a household word.

By all means, let's make sure that we mention he's gay because if we don't mention he's gay, how will people known he's a deplorable pervert?

By all means, let's use inappropriate and over saturated media coverage on one sexual assault case as a justification for making even more inappropriate coverage of another sexual assault case.

Damn that MSM for not doing more!
