It's one thing to not jump to conclusions - as for example thinking that the psycho in Norway was a Muslim terrorist instead of a far right-wing loon; it's quite another not to report the facts of the case.
For example.
Tonight at the Wisconsin State Fair, a group of youths lurked outside the fairgrounds and attacked people exiting the fairgrounds. They allegedly pulled people out of cars, knocked people off motorcycles, and attacked people just walking along the street.
Some of the news articles mention the race of the people doing the attacking - black. And they mention the race of the people being attacked - white.
And some news articles don't mention race in any way at all. Now why would that be?
To be sure, when hundreds of Canadians in Vancouver rioted, hurt over 50 people and burned cars, etc., all because the Canucks lost their hockey championship, the news articles there didnt' report on the race of the rioters. But there was no need to - there are verrrrrrrrry few blacks in Vancouver, and in any event the rioting was indiscriminate.
In the attacks at the Wisconsin State Fairgrounds, however, witnesses state that it was race-related. How can it be, therefore, that there are news outlets that are not pointing this out? How can they not point it out?
And will Al Sharpton and the Rev Jesse Jackson go there to try to heal the wounds between the black and white populace? Will Obama have a beer summit?
OR will this wilding be ignored?
