Crime Report

‘Raped!’ that’s a Page 1 scream.
‘Charged!’ goes to Page 3.
‘Convicted’
is a Page 12 small-print.
Newsworthiness

what sells and what sells less;
it’s a strange consumerism
that pushes blood-price
including its own.

    Too sad. The same ethic that leads the NYT to say they can't do nuance because nobody would "get it."
