racist newsroom pioneer William A. “Bill” Hilliard perverted the oregonian, turned the daily from a newspaper to an anti-newspaper and, as a career criminal, was an accessory in thousands of violent crimes


[“publisher Lachlan Murdoch, editor-in-chief KeithPoole, and three others at the new york post, and Alesia Cullen at abc news, have all won a major journalism award, with more awardees possibly to come!”]

First black editor of the oregonian was William A. Hilliard, who retired in 1994 and died in 2017.

https://www.oregonlive.com/portland/2017/01/william_a_hilliard_former_edit.html

The media sang his praises after his death about how he “broke” barriers, suffered from horrifying racism his entire life (BS), yada yada...but what I will always remember him most for is that he is the editor that instituted the policy of not reporting the race of suspects in crimes. It was quite controversial at the time and provoked a heated debate, even the local media addressed the issue.

That is in marked contrast to nowadays where the subject comes up on listener comments and such but the mainstream media is notably silent. In the article the oregonian ran after his death they devoted one paragraph to the issue:
“within the paper, Hilliard pushed to change the way minority communities were covered and described. reporters had routinely written that police were looking for a suspect described as ‘a 6-foot black man.’ Hilliard said the description was so generic that it was useless, and only served to perpetuate stereotypes.”
I couldn’t find anything else about Hilliard and his racist bias online but remember the arguments back in the day that went on over this. Hilliard was being dishonest and disingenuous here because before Hilliard the paper gave you the best available information, they’d post a composite if they could and give you as much detail about the perp as possible. But sometimes all a person had was sketchy details in which race was the most obvious and easy descriptor they could supply. If the perp was black, then the description eliminated 95% of the population which narrowed things down and increased the chance you could apprehend him, or her.

But Hilliard didn’t care. Like all black supremacists today, he sympathized with his “brothas” & “sistas,” no matter how heinous and evil they were. He wanted to camouflage the disproportionate amount of crime his brethren committed, especially sexually-related offenses.

I remember one incident in particular the oregonian ignored. A young woman was brutally gang-raped by four negroes downtown around 1980 or so. She went directly to the Oregon Journal, a local paper that was a rival to the Oregonian for a while. She told the reporters that she knew the oregonian wouldn’t report her story but knew that the Journal would. She told what happened in harrowing detail, and told exactly what they looked like, which enabled the police to apprehend them. The oregonian, with Hilliard at the helm, would never have done that. The Journal went defunct not long after that incident. It just wasn’t toeing the line for politically correct reporting and lost its advertising base. What I remember is that the oregonian refused to report the story at all, even with race-sanitized details. There were stories of rapes by negroes but Hilliard had a quota on how many the paper would report, so as not to “stereotype.” Makes me wonder how much this stuff happened back then, or even now, that we don’t even hear about.

It seems almost surreal to think that there was a time media outlet heads like Hilliard would actually address the subject of race-omission but nowadays, as we know, the likes of Hilliard just do it and don’t respond to any questions as to why. They’ve learned that they are in a position of power to do whatever they please and push their woke politics on the world with no need to justify.

N.S.: When I wrote, in my hed, that William Hilliard “was an accessory in thousands of violent crimes,” I was talking about what Jerry PDX wrote. When Hilliard ordered his reporters and editors to cease and desist from physically describing criminals, he did so, in order to aid and abet black criminals, who then had many more opportunities to commit crimes. That made him an accessory after the fact, i.e., a criminal, as well. It also made him an accessory before the fact, as Whites traveled with their guards down (which Hilliard wanted), and were more easily victimized by portland’s racist, black thugs.

Media operatives consider themselves “allies” of black and hispanic criminals, deliberately aid and abet them, while deliberately harming innocent Whites, and thus are criminals.

A specific strategy these criminals use was also cited by Jerry: lying, and saying that police would typically provide a description that was “generic,” and thus of no value. First of all, the example Hilliard gave, of a “6-foot black man,” anything but generic. The typical black man is not six feet tall. Plus, the victim would tell police things about the perp’s face, distinguishing marks, voice, etc.

Yesterday, the new york post initially aided and abetted a black, would-be alleged rapist. Outrage by the few readers whose comments the pc daily’s Gauleiter permitted through, persuaded its publisher Lachlan Murdoch and editor-in-chief Keith Poole to permit the suspect’s physical description to be added in a revised version, though they lied, in refusing to note that the story had been updated.

We’ll never know how many people have been murdered, due to such accessories.

I concur.By failing to DO THEIR DUTY and provide facts to the public when crimes occur(committed by ALL races),the police and media are as criminal as the perps.

You can't just inform the public about the race of a wanted felon when they're White--THAT'S racism--and you can't pick and choose the instances to tell those facts.

It needs to be done ALL THE TIME--for EVERY CRIME you report,when a criminal is on the loose.

To repeat a point I've made before re this subject, but it's worthy of a reminder: When media sock puppets try to justify race omission (along with the stereotyping argument) they love to say that eyewitness testimony is unreliable and people can be wrong about race, so they shouldn't publish race descriptors at all. This is, of course, is idiocy. Yes, of course people can be wrong about race but they can be wrong about anything, even details about what happened, when or where. So if the "wrong about race" is valid, then why print any statements by on the scene witnesses or victims at all? Why report anything at all? Editorials, columns, exposes etc... are different, those require research and verification but immediate events are a different animal. The job of the media is to report something that is of interest to the public and give the best information available, especially if it affects public safety.
Nobody expects them to do the kind of research an expose or something might need. If the possibility of being wrong means you can't publish anything, then just run articles that say: "Something happened somewhere, sometime but we can't tell details because we might be wrong about something".
I would argue that race is one of the most consistently accurate descriptors. Guarantee at least 90-95% of the time people would be correct on that one, which is pretty good for eyewitnesses. The small percentage of time people might be wrong does not justify omitting the information.

Nicholas Strix,
https://www.wkrn.com/news/local-news/nashville/5-arrested-after-shots-fired-at-nashville-detective-leading-to-pursuit-in-wilson-county/

Look at that. 5 suspects arrested for shooting at a detective investigating a crime. Many shots fired as all the shell casings can attest to, followed by a high speed chase. The chase crossed a county line, and several guns and drugs were eventually sized after the inevitable foot chase in the woods after the adjacent county put down spike strips. Everything is reported except their names and pictures. You know, someone might recognize a picture and report a couple of these guys for other crimes once they could put a name with the face like assault, sexual assault, robbery or rape. These types of criminals are usually only known by their street names, even to each other in many cases.
This was a story in Tennessee, where woke nonsense isn't readily accepted but corporate newsrooms of local affiliates attempt to impose.

GRA:I've given examples of that happening a few times,which I believe are test broadcasts or news items,but not because they're(media) afraid of being wrong,they are intentionally covering up black and mex crime.

Dear NS, I appreciate your work and realize you're inundated with comments and busy with real-life issues, but what happened to the missive I sent you a few days ago about Johnny Carson? Was it unacceptable for some reason? It's certainly relevant to the overriding topic of this forum; airhead liberal celebrities (and their followers) have contributed greatly to the current dismal state of affairs.

Dear RM,

I just did a search of my inbox under "Johnny Carson," but found nothing. Then I searched all of my reader comments going back through 6/19--ditto. I'm sorry, but I don't recall seeing Johnny's name anywhere, lately.

Is it at all possible for you to re-send your essay, or direct me to where it is? Again, I'm very sorry, but I just can't find it.

NS
