Dr. Drew On Call

Every day, somebody goes missing in America … and many newsworthy, intriguing stories will never make it to the mainstream media. This begs the question: Is there discrimination as to which missing person cases get covered or attract attention? HLN's Dr. Drew and his guests discussed that very issue Thursday night.

“It`s ridiculous,” criminal defense attorney Lauren Lake told Dr. Drew. “We have to admit that there is an undeniable systemic, racially biased undercurrent that is running through our media and our society at large that suggests that black, African-American victims of color, are just not as valuable, that the nation, the world, wouldn`t buy into them and support stations that run stories about them ... I can count on my one hand, Dr. Drew, how many victims of color, cases involving victims of color that I`ve covered in the last 10 years on air, and that`s a shame. “
