ABC Plays 'Guess The Race' In Report On Sexual Predator Loose In Arizona

If ABC News is going to spend precious newscast time on a sex predator that tried to grab and do God-knows-what to three female students on separate occasions, then wouldn’t it be worthwhile to provide viewers with as much information as possible on the suspect so people know what to look for? It appears not. Here’s the full report, as aired on ABC World News Tonight on Wednesday, December 13th, 2023. Guess what was left out of the suspect description. Such is the prevalence of the woke mind virus that it is now racist to provide the apparent race or ethnicity of the suspect when reporting on matters of crime- all in the interest of not offending sensibilities. These are the problems that the Acela Media grapple with.

Closer to the situation, however, there is less concern with propriety. Rightfully so, when a predator is on the loose. From The Daily Wildcat: UAPD described the suspect as a “male who appeared to be Hispanic” with a “heavy set build” who was approximately 5 feet, 8 inches tall. “He was wearing an orange shirt and jeans.” According to the report, the victim did not see the man enter or leave a vehicle at any point. There is an available race/ethnic descriptor, but ABC simply chooses to forgo disclosing it to its public. It is little wonder that trust in the media is so low.
