Katie Couric's interview with "cold feet" bride exposes truth of corporate media against Latino's
Reporting from
Washington, D.C.
As a 40 year old Black man from
Washington, D.C., I hear many a
gripe from fellow Blacks in the
nation's capital about Latino's
gettting jobs on construction
sites. But let's be realistic,
Latino's are just like Blacks,
they are just trying to survive.
like everybody else. And
again, Latino's also face
the same racist problems
Blacks do. Take for example this
years "cold feet bride" of Georgia,
Jennifer Wilbanks. This woman
decided, without telling her
fiance' on her wedding day with
600 invited guests, not to get
married. This was done by
faking her own abduction. Not
only that, she said that a Latino
kidnapped her. Now that the
truth has come out, with her
pleading no contest to criminal
charges, the sadness continues
to the Latino community.
The magazine, "Inside TV"
reported that, MSNBC
correspondent Katie Couric did
a June 12th interview with
Wilbanks and her fiance',
John Mason, in Georgia. This
event was taped for the news
program, "Today" and a June
21st broadcast special on
"Dateline". But the Inside
TV report gave no answer to
why Couric did this interview.
Not only that, it disclosed that
the "cold feet bride" sold the
rights to her story to Regan
Media for 0,000, which
includes a TV-movie and
possible book. Even though
Wilbanks thinks the mistake
she made was "the best
mistake ever made", that she
desperately needed help, such
is doubtful. With previous run
ins with the law for lying and
shoplifiting, such rehabilitation
with a TV-movie and book
is doubtful. Most importantly,
it does not rectify the damage
done to the Latino community,
where she falsely accused a
Latino male for kidnapping her
at gun point. Every law
enforcement officer in the
country was looking for this
Latino male That in itself was
a death warrant! And MSNBC
does a greater injustice for
having such a sinister interview.
The clients of Regan Media
needs to be brought up to
speed in not releasing a movie
of this type; And if they refuse,
a national permanent boycott
needs to be implemented to
put them out of business.
