     @chud media suppression of news has always been a thing, but now it is epidemic.
     
     The companion to this is moving stuff out of the news cycle if it escapes containment.

     The quality of the news broadcast, the fact that he was named Nickarius, and the perfection of what happened made me doubt the legitimacy. So I looked it up, and it's just one local station reporting on this, the Nickarius guy doesn't even have much online presence (though it's difficult to sort through all the Nickarius's who have been arrested for violent crimes).
     
     If it's true as-reported, then it's another reminder that larger news agencies intentionally avoid stories.
     
     I've worked on incidents that wound up in Fox News and CNN because some property got damaged. Next time there's a big fire/police emergency/natural disaster in your town, take a look at who's there - even at 3AM, the news (they listen to radio broadcasts) will sometimes be there before the incident is even over. You'll have six cameras lined up on the sidewalk, pointed at a house, with a bunch of reporters saying, "Yep, this house wasn't on fire, then it was, and now it is once again not on fire. More at 11."
     
     But this guy claps the man who kidnaps his daughter and it's nothing but crickets... Moon crickets.
