They also reported on a hit and run killing of a bicyclist in heavily Latino Little Village. They said police had apprehended a suspect, but didn't print the name.<br /><br />Anyone who still bothers to read the Tribune will just automatically assume now that the home invaders were black and the hit and run killer was Latino.<br /><br />It's like papers in the old Soviet Union, you can only figure out what's really going on by reading between the lines and guessing. What's the point of reporting then?Chicago Lampoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04156263304836143442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7612367701941502836.post-47310211601093324812011-08-25T02:19:18.535-05:002011-08-25T02:19:18.535-05:00All they're doing is not mentioning the elepha...All they're doing is not mentioning the elephant in the room. Everyone sees what it is and knows what it is, and the press isn't doing anyone any favors - least of all themselves and the accused - by not mentioning the simple fact of race. <br /><br />When cops get a BOLO, race is part of the description. It's one of the ways we identify one another. <br /><br />These kids are out of control now. It's pathetic.DarcsFalconhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01757804686134389853noreply@blogger.com
