Lovin: are you feeling alright?

If it is a crime involving racial overtones, it is appropriate to identify race. In most other cases, it isn’t appropriate to identify race since it has little bearing on the understanding of the topic.

Feeling fabulous, as always, thanks.

It IS a story involving racial overtones. An unprovoked black man attacked a white man. The black man called the white man “nigger” eight times, yet the “news” censors their races.

If the white man had attacked the black man and called him “nigger” eight times, it would be all over the national news and their races would have been stated in “reports.”

But these are not news reporters. They’re activists with an agenda.
They probably would have burned the town down.


Ask not what your country can do FOR you; ask what they are about to do TO YOU!!

Name one Flint TV or radio reporter that has burned anything down? You can’t.

And it’s alright for FOX News anchors to take political stances supporting the President... but anyone who opposes racism is an activist? That’s messed up.

Nope. Just ate lunch. Thanks.

Now stick to the topic: race identification in local news stories.

Thanks for playing...

I didn’t start this conversation. No spin here. Just would appreciate it if you stuck to the topic and kept comments focused on Flint TV and radio... not your personal political grievances. Those go to the political potpourri forum...

My observation was that if a story is about an alleged racial bias crime, then it’s fair to point out the races of those persons involved.

R: So you think that it’s OK for news anchors (including on FOX) to take political stances in their reporting? I don’t. If you think that’s crap, that’s your issue.
