One of the best example of biased news I have ever run across. It's only the beginning and as the current Marxist regime tightens the noose over freedom of speech and forces censorship in the name of "hate and thought crimes" we get fed more and more lies and distortions by our pseudo "free press."
Gotta read the article.

If the race of all perpetrators was printed the public would become aware of the outrageously high percentage of blacks involved in crime. Can’t have that. It’s racist.

Where I live there is a large democrat population. There are crime reports of recent crimes that avoid mentioning race. “Be on the lookout for 2 six foot males on foot last seen...”
Is it worth endangering the public to please the PC watchers?
Don’t we need to know relevant information to protect ourselves?
Might a witness come forward if they had basic identifying description?
To: Scotsman will be Free
It also explains why, if a politician’s commits a crime and the party is not mentioned in the first paragraph or two, you know he’s a Democrat.
To: DH
We do not reference race unless it is a fact that is central to telling the story. When the criminals are real close to 100% members of one race, that should be considered relevant. It should scream out, "Hey, there's a problem here!"

Had it been a group of whites assaulting a black...
National news lead story.
Newsweek and Time covers on white racism.
Talk shows address it.
Al and Jesse and other race pimps march.
Group of blacks target ONLY whites for assaults?
Local news only.
Race wasn’t a factor.
No hate crime.
Justice Department, as stated now on their website (!!!), doesn’t care.

As I have written many times (never published) to the Waco Trib, they do a disservice and endanger the public every time they withhold information on an un-apprehended perp.
I have also pointed out that they would share some blame were I to put two in the chest of some poor black man seeking directions at a traffic light and they had failed to tell me the current rash of car jackings was being perpetrated by Asian dwarfs.....

Reporters used to report. Remember, “Who, what, where, why, when and how?”
Now these PC MSM rags are in the business of protecting us from un-PC news.
No wonder the dinosaur MSM is dying. They can’t “shield” us from the truth anymore, not in the era of the internet, talk radio and FOX.

Exactly. Their statement about relevancy is horse puckey. If gangs of black youths are roaming around collectively mugging people the description is just as relevant as the location in arming people with the information they need to make informed decisions about their safety. The same would hold true if they were Caucasian, Asian or Latino.

Race will be one of the worst aggravating factors in any CW2 scenario in the USA.

I’ve not followed this story at all, but just reading the Chicago Jokeume’s article told me all I need to know about the race of the perps.
Liberals are soooooo transparent.
Libs, most of we conservatives can outthink you after we’re three days in the grave. Just give us the facts and we can figure it out. After all, we’re the ones that gave you science. You gave us marxism. Go figure which group is more capable of judgement.

Be careful about disparaging Holder’s people.

Since Obama can claim to be “Black” I would imagine there has been enough interbreeding that they can claim “White” or “Hispanic”, etc., as the race of the perpetrators.

The collapse of the economy will pretty much ignite a race war, when the welfare class stops getting it’s free meals.
I feel that a united GOP behind a true reformer instead of a RINO is the best bloodless solution to fix this country.
However, that might push Soros into dropping the economic Barakolypse bomb before Nov. 2012 to suspend the elections.

I like it when they play the race card....... shows them to be nothing more than what they were born with after all those years. Be they of any color, race , creed or origin.
They out themselves to be helpless and dumb as a new born babe with a diaper full of crap.
My opinion.
