Media Moguls Admit Skewing Racial Reality in News, on TV

Producers of television crime programs and publishers of major
newspapers have admitted that they intentionally skew coverage to
downplay minority criminal activity, part of a racist, anti-white
overreaction to complaints by liberal groups that crime programs
portray
blacks and Latinos as criminal and out
of control.
. .
In a recent column by Ben Shapiro, a political columnist syndicated by
Creators Syndicate, John Langley, producer of the television show
"Cops,"? admitted that he consciously inserts an anti-white bias
into his programming:
. .
"I show more white people than statistically what the truth is in
terms of street crime,"? Langley said. "If you look at the prisons
it's 60-something percent people of color, and 30-something
percent of white people. If you look at "Cops," it's 60 percent white
and 40 percent [blacks and Hispanics] . . it's just the reverse.
And I do that intentionally." . .
?
Editors at mainstream publications have also conceded that they
downplay the race of criminals, because they do not want the public
to know that most criminals are black or Hispanic. Tom Kent, a deputy
managing editor for the Associated Press, recently stated that the
number of blacks who commit crimes 'probably would not be germane to
the story'? in most of the news wire's press coverage. Gerould
Kern, senior vice president and editor of The Chicago Tribune has
said, in defense of the same policies,that"we guard against subjecting
an entire group of people to suspicion because of the color of their
skin,"? and that his paper does so by altering the facts of the
news when it doesn't suit
their political ends. Washington Post ombudsman Andrew Alexander has
said the same, telling readers that "The Post should always be
sensitive to
overplaying stories, especially if race is involved."
. .
Of course, the issue of not mentioning race becomes more serious when
minority criminals are engaged in racist violence against white
people- a relatively common situation that is
broadly denied by the mainstream news. The New York Times, The Chicago
Tribune, The Los Angeles Times and
The Washington Post have all been accused of doing this in various
reports. . . .
