NY1 Broke Its Rule, and Gave the Nationality (and Implicitly, Race) of a Criminal Suspect! What Gives?

By Nicholas Stix

What gives is, the suspect was white. So, New York City’s most radically leftwing station, which used to be known in some quarters (according to Fred Siegel) as the “All-Sharpton News Network,” before it became the gay marriage news station, described a rape suspect caught seeking to flee the country as “a Greek national.” (This was on Wednesday or Thursday.)

NY1 does crime reports several times a week, in which the suspect, who is still at large, is black, but refuses to note that essential fact. They will show a videotape of the black suspect on the street, while the news reader (e.g., Vivian Lee) tells you everything but his race, making her description worthless, if your eyes weren’t glued to the screen at that moment. In other words, NY1 loves black perps!

It also never tells you what nationality a non-white immigrant suspect is. It will tell you a “(neighborhood or city or state)” man, which is a kind of a lie, considering that he isn’t form that area, and doesn’t for a moment identify with it. It’s just his seat of criminal operations.

The pathetic rationalization that racial socialists give for refusing to divulge the race of criminals suspects is that they don’t want to negatively stereotype an entire race. (That’s an unwitting giveaway that criminality is so pervasive among blacks, and that the stereotype is true.) But if the news readers won’t say “black,” why do they say “man,” which is just as biased towards all men?

So, I guess that NY1 didn’t break any rules. It didn’t racially or nationally identify any non-white criminal.
