I don't like Sharpton or Farrakhan. They are both media hounds who really don't care about anything but their own publicity. Jesse Jackson at one time really did fight for juistice. Now, I'm not sure what his stance is. However, from what I have read and heard, there was no justice in this case. Hopefully, there will be in the near future.
As to the Sun not reporting much about this, not much I can say there. I do not consider the Sun a newspaper. It's a feel-good blurb that is a great marketing tool for the developer and fun for Villagers. Sanford is not in TV, so has little relevance to the developer. However, this is a story that has merited world-wide attention. To not have even one piece on the front page of a something purported to be a newspaper is, at best, pathetic. It really is bigger news than the age and make of someone's car.

Yes, I would like to be a fly on the wall at a Sun editorial meeting (if they have them) to hear the discussion about whether or not to report on the story, or run an AP feed article etc.
