Note that the MSM reports the perp’s race when he is white but ignores it otherwise.
As always, the MSM reports what sells papers and gets ratings. I can't believe how many people don't realize they're in it for the money, just like any other industry. If they can gin up riots, even better for the bottom line.
Case in point:

I cannot imagine any newspaper in the country publishing an article like this but with black and white switched. The title, "Black man threatens Virginia churchgoers, spews racial slurs", would never get published. The leading sentence, "Police arrested a black man who shouted racial slurs and threatened to kill white congregants gathered inside a church . . ." would never be considered. Honest people would use the same reporting style regardless of whether the facts support their agenda. This is Reuters, and there is no honesty at all in their writing.
