Paris In The Light
(L.A. Co. Sheriffs Department)
Paris Hilton will end up serving more time behind bars than the vast majority of inmates sent to L.A. County Jail for similar offenses, according to a [Los Angeles] Times analysis of jail records…Had Hilton left jail for good after four days, her stint behind bars would have been similar to those served by 60% of those inmates.The press corps hasn't exactly deigned to contextualize the celeb's sentence, even though analysts were pointing out the relative injustice of it back on June 7. Instead of clear-headed and informed reports about Hilton's jailtime, we' ve mostly seen antagonistic stories that feed into our class resentment and angst-ridden relationship with celebrity culture.
And people think ideological bias is the biggest problem with the media?
