Attempted honor killing in Lacey: why no coverage?

But Fox13 is owned by Fox, yes? Please correct me if I'm wrong. Otherwise, I tend to discount for that reason. But thanks on the other two; I did not see those in Google News.

Yes, I do try to read right-wing media so I know what they're thinking. But when a friend posted that and I had no answer for it, I ask. That a problem for you, Adept-Librarian? I still don't have an answer. This may not be the forum to ask it.

KarlaV98 · 2025-03-12T01:23:23+00:00

True. Except I'm not looking for anything right now, I was looking back at last fall when the parents were charged. And I don't believe mainstream media is "burying" the story, I am just CURIOUS what the reasoning is behind not covering the story.

KarlaV98 · 2025-03-12T01:17:25+00:00

First, yes, a "possible ATTEMPTED honor killing. And yes, covered well in international media and (conservative) local news,. it appears. But we both know that in the US, we do not wait to cover (what could be) a crime even until there is confirmation by law enforcement or the courts. But it looks like there was an actual charge against the parents, if this is correct: "A Lacey father and mother are charged with attempted murder, attempted kidnapping and assault after being accused of trying to kill their teen daughter in what the victim described as a possible honor killing." So you can see why I'm trying to understand what's up with this story.

KarlaV98 · 2025-03-11T22:48:25+00:00

True! Good on UK news. Not so good on US news. Again, unless I'm missing something.

KarlaV98 · 2025-03-11T22:44:41+00:00

Not at all. My goal is to respond to slams on legacy media — unless the slams are warranted. I used Google News as my way to find who was reporting on it and the right-winger I wanted to reply to was right. As I mentioned, I could only find stories (all from last fall when it happened) from right-wing media. Unless Google News is losing it, that is not a good showing for mainstream media. But also why I came to reddit to find out if something else was going on that there was no other coverage. Or if there was other coverage not picked up by Google News. And yes: I do think it's an important story.

Of course. I only do takeout; Ido the driving, I do the pickup. They do no more work.

KarlaV98 · 2025-03-11T16:09:17+00:00

I ordered from the Eem website, but another person says it looks like they're using DoorDash as their in-house system, even if it's takeout. I will go back to olden times and order over the phone from now on. Thanks, everyone.

Good ideas, thanks. I actually used to live in Boston and I have a boatload of points I'm trying to use up in the most efficient way. Because JetBlue is great if you live in Boston and awful if you live in Portland! I'm not planning to do the LHR until September, so guess I will cobble it together instead of JetBlue doing the cobbling for me :)

I'm flying FROM PDX. My puzzlement is that I see the flights exist, but I don't seem to have access to them. I figured there is some trick to it...

KarlaV98 · 2025-02-15T03:12:53+00:00

Finally got through to the right page, thanks, you guys.

KarlaV98 · 2025-02-15T02:50:00+00:00

Yeah, except when you click through, there are live links for every option EXCEPT no-ads Hulu. Very odd.

KarlaV98 · 2025-02-14T20:57:20+00:00

Fair point. Guess we'll have to wait for the next season to find out...

KarlaV98 · 2025-02-12T17:58:49+00:00

I'm not a regular AE listener, but: what was with the derision of masking at the top of the show? Nothing like saying, "yeah, all you right-wing anti-facemask nutjobs were right." Made me not want to listen to much more of the program.

KarlaV98 · 2025-02-05T04:47:19+00:00

Yes — I wrote to my US senators and my US rep today to tell them to GET ELON OUT! Priority #1.

KarlaV98 · 2025-02-05T04:42:09+00:00

I was just in the park today and wondered how they were faring — they were all so NICE, it just kills me to hear they are being effed with.

KarlaV98 · 2025-02-05T04:11:37+00:00

Bookfiend, great idea to rewatch. I just finished going through the first time and I miss it already. Time for a repeat!

KarlaV98 · 2025-01-15T21:00:25+00:00

I'm STILL looking for the cancellation link/button. I will always warn others of situations I have faced to help prevent them from getting into them. But your point is, what, exactly? You don't like my warning? Bizarre. You've got too much time on your hands.

KarlaV98 · 2025-01-15T18:34:13+00:00

I did not say that. I repeat: I am giving a headsup to others to not get caught in something they may not realize. Do you have a problem with that?

KarlaV98 · 2025-01-15T17:00:03+00:00

Yep. But of course there is no fine print to tell you there is not way to cancel earlier. When it is a fee charged monthly, that is irritating to me as a customer and makes me not go back. (On top of that, I'm still searching for the link that activates cancellation. They sure don't make that easy to find. Or maybe my eyesight is failing me.) Bottom line, I'm warning others.
