The Google search above proves that no mainstream media outlets reported this story.
If the corporate, liberal, or public news media had covered it, it would have shown up on the first page of Google results, trending on social media, and on the evening news.
There was no coverage from the largest national outlets — including CNN, MS NOW, ABC News, NBC News, CBS, The New York Times, PBS, NPR, The Washington Post, and Fox News.
We got one report from the New York Post and one from People.
This horrific case never became a national story because a Black man tortured, raped, and killed a White woman.
Yet when a repeat offender with a long criminal history, who is high on drugs, resists arrest and is killed by police, the media never lets us hear the end of it.
Some lives clearly matter more than others.
This horrific crime happened in North Carolina, but I learned about it from a source in Upper Michigan.
They seem to be the only other news outlet that republished WBTV’s report.
Stroupe’s death has since been ruled a homicide, authorities said. Noting that she was found with broken and fractured bones and stab wounds.
Detectives said that a knife wrapped in cellophane with possible blood on it, a baseball bat, a sword, multiple cell phones (some broken), clothing with possible blood and a mattress that appeared to have blood on it were additionally found.
Stroupe was being tortured over a period of several months, the affidavit stated, with her not being physically able to provide consent for sexual intercourse.”
Hamilton was arrested on Friday. His charges include first-degree murder and first-degree rape in connection with Stroupe’s death.
Notice the Google search only pulled 5 pages for her first, middle, and last name.
I tried the search with just her first and last name and 8 pages showed up. I saw Yahoo and The Mirror reported the story once also. But page 6 of the Google search didn’t link to anything. And page 7 and 8 were mostly X posts about it. So then I asked Grok. Grok said: Fox News, CNN, MS NOW, ABC News, NBC News, CBS, The New York Times, PBS, NPR, and The Washington Post did not report the story.
Then I went to each news source and typed in her first and last name.
Fox News did not report it but one local Fox reported it.
I Googled her full name, and only eight pages of results showed up. They were all the same articles I had already seen.
I noticed that AOL reported on it once.
Compare all of that to how the media covered George Floyd.
Why did George Floyd’s life matter more to the media than Isabella Stroupe’s?
Because our mainstream media is full of Democratic activists. To them, it is all politics, all the time. And this story does nothing to help Democrats get elected.
That is what I think.
Why do you think George Floyd’s life matter more to the media than Isabella Stroupe’s?
RIP Isabella
Your life mattered.
