Remember the O.J. Trial, Do you think "race" plays a roll in these sex "scandals"
Doses the media reflect the Cultural Poisoning of the general population or is it worst among "educated" writers trying to get readers and make money on sex/ethnicity scandals?
Racial Media Bias in Schwarzenegger vs. Tiger Woods Sex Scandals?
Yesterday I read a Facebook posting that noted the stark differences between the media coverage of former Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger’s infidelity and marital separation and the media coverage of pro golf champion Tiger Woods near identical sex scandal. The implication was that Schwarzenegger’s media coverage has been far less chaotic and much less venomous because he is white while Tiger Wood’s media coverage was not only hyper-sensationalized but salaciously and viciously reported because he is of African American descent.
After thinking about it further I agree there are definitely stark differences in the style, degree and even depth of reporting between the very similar sex scandals. However I do believe these differences are based primarily on three very important factors.
