should certain news stories not be shown because it entices racism?

Question

there's blatant bias in news reporting. they always show minority groups committing crimes and such acts that fuel stereotypes and let the racists come out and "prove" their beliefs. they always go haywire in the comments.

Answer 1

Of course there is a bias. Take the UK for example. A British soldier was

stabbed in the street by so called 'terrorists'. As bad as that was, the media

was RIFE with that story constantly nit-picking at the fact the culprits were

Black/Nigerian and secondly that they were Muslim (even though both were

British born citizens). Yet a couple of weeks before that, a 75 year old Muslim

man was stabbed 3 times in the neck by a racist White Man...and it just about

made the local news!. That murder still has not been solved. That's just a minor

example of many, that yes there is a huge bias in the media.



Or in America's case, let's talk about the Boston Bombings and how White

People were caught calmly and casually looting equipment a couple of hours

after that horrific event and selling it on Ebay...AGAIN this did not even make

the news. Could you imagine if Black Americans did that? Lord...

Answer 2

Well there is really only one ethnic group that's known to stand out on the street in daylight and sell drugs, for example. Every one knows people use drugs and criminals sell drugs. But if you have open air drug markets as if it's a selling fruits and vegetables stand, how could the news not report that. That alone is news worthy. The insanity of it all. Racist don't need to prove any belief. There is a drug dealer on one corner and when a cop comes too close, they start sending out mentally deranged signals and hide their drugs in a whole in the wall of a building. Next they wonder why their homies always get busted. There so stupid, they don't even have to worry about rats. Just, how did the cops find all the drugs, when they moved the stash spot yesterday.

Answer 3

They usually just don't show a picture of the perpetrator if they think it'll create racial violence. But I don't think it's necessary anymore.
