Very often NBC here will report an assault, murder, robbery, etc, and not tell the
race or ethnicity of the perpetrator.
Today's story was of a break-in and sexual assault in PG County, again. The
newscaster described the perp as tall and thin, wearing a black mask and black shirt.
Also announced a $25000 reward for info leading to capture, etc. At no time did the
newscaster mention the race of the individual.
However, the same story, on ABC a few minutes earlier, did describe the individual as
African-American, tall and thin ... etc.
So I called NBC news. Asked them why they would mention the reward and ask for
viewers help in capturing the individual but *not* provide the information regarding
race/ethnicity which would narrow down the possibilities by a significant percent.
The response? "That information wasn't available to us." I said, "You mean you knew
he was tall and thin, wearing a black mask and shirt, but didn't get his race?"
The guy says, "Yeah."
I told him that seemed really strange, especially since ABC knew his race.
Kinda weird, but that's almost a nightly occurrence for NBC hereabouts.
I'll bet the ABC coverage that mentioned race gave you your first woody of
the year. You're a sad racist sack.

I'd bet you got a "woody by simply making that response. You're a filthy and sorry POS.
