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.

If the perp is white, it would be the first thing they said.

You ought to be ashamed of yourself, helping Herring play his racist
cards.

It is just a fact. At a certain point you have to admit that is true
and it is not racist.
I notice you get giddy when a white guy shoots someone but black
people shooting each other never seems to register on your radar..

The point is, the racial portion of the ID offered by the station that
reported it was not relevant.

I never get *giddy* about fatal shootings. Why do you keep making up
this ****?

Feigned outrage? How would you describe your compulsion to report
every shooting where a white guy is the perp, particularly if there is
any indication that he might be to the right of you.

I don't report every shooting where a white guy is the perp, or even a
tiny percentage of such shootings. Why do you keep making up this ****?
