What do we need to know about Jack the Ripper
The London Monster Jack the Ripper
Was nine inches long, and near four inches deep;

He insulted their ears with obscene discourse." Jack the Ripper

Media Bias
Media bias shown through the newspaper in actual fact, much of what we think we know about the Ripper killings is the result of historical speculation, biased media coverage, or simple folklore. Even the name “Jack the Ripper” originates from a letter sent to a London newspaper — a letter now widely believed to be a hoax. We can't even be completely sure that all five Ripper murders were the work of the same individual, or that other murders were not committed by the Ripper. Although modern scholars put the number of Ripper victims at five, contemporary newspaper accounts identified at least six and sometimes more, attributing other murders to the same culprit.
