"Media Avoids Reporting Crime Race
The media's approach to reporting the race of criminals has been a subject of debate, with some critics arguing that the race of non-white offenders is often omitted or downplayed, while the race of white offenders is more frequently mentioned. This pattern has been observed in various studies and analyses.
For instance, a review by the Washington Free Beacon found that the race of white offenders was mentioned in roughly 1 out of every 4 articles, compared to 1 in 17 articles about black offenders and 1 in 33 articles about Hispanic offenders. This disparity suggests that the media may be more likely to mention the race of white offenders than non-white offenders.
Similarly, a study conducted by the Manhattan Institute highlighted that major newspapers downplay the race of non-white offenders, mentioning their race much later in articles than they do for white offenders. These papers are also three to four times more likely to mention an offender's race if they are white.
In addition, a discussion on Reddit noted that when the race of a criminal is not mentioned, it can lead to speculation and potentially inflame racial tensions. Some users suggested that the media might be intentionally omitting the race of non-white criminals to avoid being seen as racist, while simultaneously emphasizing the race of white criminals.
However, it is important to note that the media's decision to report the race of a criminal can vary based on the context and the relevance of the information to the story. Some journalists argue that race should only be mentioned if it is pertinent to the story, as per the Associated Press style guidelines.
Overall, the issue of whether the media should report the race of criminals remains a complex and contentious topic, with differing perspectives on the appropriate balance between reporting facts and avoiding racial bias."
As you know, anchors, reporters, & journalists have become famous for skirting around or altering facts in order to advance their agenda.
The truth:
1. If a race is 'not mentioned' in a negative news story, people in the know realize the perpetrator was black or perhaps Hispanic.
2. If a person is white, that is the leading headline.
3. The liberal media hates on white people, especially white men. It is obvious to even a child but liberals turn a blind eye.
4. Statistics that are not favorable to the Black or Hispanic race are labeled as 'racist'. Leftists and liberals often ignore reality and facts choosing instead to support feelings; numbers don't lie but politically correctness and virtue signaling outweigh common sense.
