Systemic Racism in Media

There. Is. An. Article. About. How. In. This. Very. Case. The. Mugshot. Was. Released. After. The. Nice. Images. Of. The. Accused:



How can anybody dispute what was a topic of discussion as the events were happening? FM, are you in North America? I don't think you are aware that the problem with Brock Turner's photo wasn't that a mugshot was eventually released, it's that the media first released the guy's yearbook picture. Journalists literally called other journalists out on this. It was a real event, it wasn't that a mugshot was ever found that was in discussion, it was why some media agencies decided to go with a yearbook picture when talking about a privileged rapist. This is the exact same situation Calamity cited. The media, purposely portraying a privileged man as a loving father in the most heinous of crimes, and not hesitating to show mugshots of the non-privileged.

You are arguing against an established part of journalistic history. This isn't an arbitrary fact. Are you serious?

Fair enough. I stand corrected.
 
Another laughable thread . As if the lw media doesn't bend over backwards to avoid ever saying anything negative about black people for fear of losing that black Democrat vote.

The evidence suggests that your assertion is--how do we say this?--hogwash.

Why does she have a mug shot in the first place... and maybe he was still being tried and was not found guilty yet.

No mugshot of a charged rapist who happens to come from a one percent family, huh.

That's new.
