Is Froma for real?

When we were reading "Missing Sensitivity" by Froma Harrop, I didn't initially realize all the many many things wrong with the article. On a side note, it's funny how this class brings out those hidden senses that people don't usually pick up on. It's almost as if there's a sixth sense: the sense of Journalists!

Froma makes a point in her article to discuss the stereotypes and racism she found in the media. She believes that between these two missing girls, Natalee Holloway (White female) and Latoyia Figueroa (Hispanic female,) only one of them got alot of media coverage. Want to take a stab in the dark who that might have been? Yep, it was Holloway alright. What makes the article disputable is the fact that even though Froma is making a point, she's making the same mistakes in her article that she claims the media has committed. Coincidence, I think not!
