CNN to examine latest developments in Jena 6 case Sunday…
CNN’s Suzanne Malveaux will be interviewing Bernice King and Martin King III on Sunday evening for this week’s “Sunday Spotlight” at approximately 10:30pm ET during CNN Newsroom.
Malveaux and the Kings will discuss the recent developments in the Jena 6 case and the planned September 20th rally being organized by the Reverends Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. Malveaux will be anchoring the the 10pm editions of CNN Newsroom this week for Rick Sanchez who is continuing to anchor the weekday 8pm hour, Out in the Open, for the next several weeks.
Update: CNN will be back in Jena, Louisiana next week covering Jena Six. Susan Roesgen will be there Monday evening through Thursday. CNN’s Kyra Phillips and Tony Harris will also be in Jena on Thursday.
I don’t think foxnews has covered jena 6 yet. I had about it on MSNBC and CNN and not Foxnews I might be wrong. Maybe it will not generate ratings that’s why they are not covering it.

Fox did several reports on this. They even had Jeanine Pirro go to the town in question and talk with the principals, including the prosecutor. She came back with a very negative report about the state of justice there.

From what I understand, FNC did run a piece on the so-called “Jena (pronounce Gina) 6,” that included my favorite GILF, Jeanine P. However, the original national TV coverage was done by CNN’s Susan Roesgen. She indicates that he basically stumbled on to the story. Following Roesgen’s piece, it has really taken off and is getting major play in Europe. As a LA resident, the whole thing is another embarassment.

I’ll leave it up this time OA but in the future please avoid putting up acronyms like that or I’ll take your whole post down.

Oophs, I apologize for that acronym. A couple of weeks ago, one of our clever commenters used it. It took me a while to catch on, but it really cracked me up.

This is so riduculous that racism is still this bad in the United States of America, land of the free, home of the brave. I dont even live in Louisiana and I am embarassed by the behavior of the DA, Judge and anybody else connected to them. God bless those boys!

I think the situton is sad. Also the punishment is not the fairest way to solve the problem. My thoughts are have both sides put on probaton for their acts and in the probation they have to work together as a team to solve a community problem. Then maybe they will learnn about how important it is to live together

As far as I can tell in this case, the kid that got beat up was not one of the people that hung the nooses….So in what way is the beating connected to the noose hangings?So there are racists idiots that hang nooses, and black kids get like a 6 month window to just beat up any random white person they see?The noose hanging was in september, the beatings like 3 or 4 months later??!Also, if you poke your nose around a little, you’ll find several instances of people being kicked to death in gang fights…..
