The front page photos from last Thursday sent the message to some readers that only black men commit murder. That was a mistake. In addition, the stories didn't address a key question: Why are there no white suspects on the loose? That also was a mistake.
Our first story should have looked harder at this question. The Daily News apologizes for the error.
Let me guess as to what the answer to this question is: evil whitey racist cops.

These 41 were identified by the Police Department's Homicide Unit as suspects for whom murder warrants have been issued. There were no white people who were being sought for murder. Time to bring back Little Nicky Scarfo.

I guess now the white population should apologize for not commiting more crimes.

I wonder what they'll say when they publish the pictures in the best inner city basketball players, all the new employees at the post office or the newly promoted fire chiefs.

I am waiting for the WSJ to apologize for only showing white men as perps in the accounting scandals.
To: Tacis
How dare they publish any more photographs of Allen Iverson.
White kids will just become discouraged that they are unlikely to realize their NBA dreams because they have the wrong skin color.

Why are there no white suspects on the loose? Gee, why is that Mr. Reporter, oracle of all that is good and righteous?
There were no white people who were being sought for murder.
Asked and answered-What a bunch of dumbasses...

This is a joke...right?
To: Michael2001
I suggest that next week they have some white reporters kill Editors, thus bringing some racial balanceto the Murder statistics.

The fact that newspapers try to keep hidden is the percentage of violent crimes committed by black males compared to their percentage of the population.
This fact is the reason middle class whites (and many middle class blacks) want to move away from predominantly black neighborhoods---not because of any irrational bigotry against skin color as is often charged.

We need to FReep these morons with emails and ask 'em if they actually read what they write.

What a bunch of wimps--apologizing for printing the TRUTH.
I happen to be reading Bernard Goldberg's "BIAS" at the moment. I just finished the chapter, "I Thought Our Job Was To Tell the Truth". It sums up pretty well how political correctness has run amok in the news business.
Goldberg cites the example of a reporter named Larry Doyle who was sent by CBS Evening News to do a piece on chain gangs in Alabama. The boss at the time, one Al Berman, was incensed when Doyle came back with footage of a gang in which all but one of the prisoners was white. It was aired before the censors (senior producers) could manipulate it to represent the party line.
~excerpt~
"I shot what was there," Doyle told Berman. Berman told Doyle to be "more careful" next time. To get more pictures of white criminals "next time".
The conversation was idiotic as far as Doyle was concerned. There was just ONE WHITE CRIMINAL. What was he supposed to do? This was Alabama, for chrissake! Not (bleeping) Switzerland!"
Hey, Daily News: You're in Philadelphia, not friggin' Switzerland!!

Have you noticed that the jail population is heavily skewed towards men? And yet, the population of the US is mostly 50/50 men vs women. Evidently, law enforcement and the courts are heavily sexist and do not give equal justice to each sex. Unless maybe women don't commit as nearly as much crime as men do. Nah, that can't be it

There is a paper here in NC, a local paper we lovingly refer to as "The Grit," which publishes ALL crimes in the county on a weekly basis. Straight from the files at the jail.
Behind each and every single name, after the address and age, is the word "black" or "white." Works for me.

So, does this mean that there are white suspects, but were not shown by the newspaper, or were all 41 suspects non-white?
To: Michael2001
The simple liberals at the Philadelphia Daily News just love to wring their hands and apologize and pander. This is nothing new at that paper. Believe it or not, the Philadelphia Inquirer is even worse.
I keep waiting for these two sick mouthpieces for the DNC to just fold and go away, but I suppose they will merge first. Boy, won't that be a treat.
