Is it just me or is this the trend? I have observed several instances over time;

  1. A guy is caught on video beating his wife (and kicking her on the head) the media (both national and vernacular stations) was hot on that story from the moment the clip went viral to the time the guy was arrested and arraigned in court.

The same week (before the guy in the first case was even arraigned) a clip of a lady beating a guy (in a similar fashion - kicking him on the head as he lay defenceless on the ground) but not a single media house took note of that case. Not even reporting it let alone doing any follow up.

  1. Cases of men abusing kids - se*ually have been covered in-depth, up to sentencing and conviction, along with the background of the perp and all. I have seen several cases where women pedos cases just don't get as much media attention. Two (separate) cases of house girls molesting months old boys, they were both caught on CCTV and arrested - and that was it, the cases were covered more online than in the news, the media just didn't care.

At the start of this year, a girl goes into her school mate's (boy) house. The boy didn't want anything to do with her so he left, he told her to go back home and went over to his friend's place, came back later in the night, she was still there, he personally took her back to her home to tell the mother what happened. The girl's mom (along with her son-in-law and the girl's elder sister) ambushed the boy just outside the compound, tied him up, she beat him up and crushed his balls. Only one media house covered it (as just another story) and moved on quickly, no follow up, nothing. Apparently, the lady hasn't been arrested yet since she went into hiding after the incident as irate villagers wanted to deal with her.

  1. Bodies of men kept popping up dumped on a certain river upcountry. The media would only cover it as just that, "another body found..." "2 more bodies found dumped, identified as male..." for several months straight, and that was it.

Few months ago several female bodies were found dumped in an abandoned quarry. The media has been on it ever since, even holding interviews and talks with "experts" on mid-morning and late evening shows - notice, not just in the prime time news. Also, the perpetrators who used to dump the male bodies in the river were never caught (nobody knows whether authorities even bothered to investigate) but within 3 days of the female bodies being found, several guys had been arrested in connection with the murders.

Does such contrast/bias in reporting and overall media coverage happen anywhere else on this planet or is it only here?
