Scroll down. The embedded tweet shows a picture of the victim on mobile as well as her parents.

I don't see an embedded tweet either. I see a quote of a tweet or something.

also it's insane but at this point not unreasonable that we're talking about the fairness of the reporting instead of the horror that a six year old was shot

desensitization right there

I agree about the horror of a six year old being shot.

I couldn't tell if Jans was being awkward over it. Apologies if you weren't @Janszoon

Awkward over what? This is what the page looks like for me:

I saw the post above mine, I was just showing you what the story looked like to me since you made that weird "awkward over it" comment. But if you saw all the pictures, I'm unclear what you were complaining about.

It seemed like you were nitpicking or arguing over semantics - the tweet being linked not embedded, or race being mentioned because pics were included. Like I said if you weren't then I apologise.

Semantics? No. You were making a big deal about something that seemed ridiculous to me. Now that I know you could see pictures of everyone involved, it seems even more ridiculous that you were making such a big deal about it.

One post is not a big deal. Unless you're also now making a big deal about it as you've posted several times.

It is clearly mentioned in the headline and opening paragraph when the perpetrator is white and the victim is black. Reverse it and it isn't.

The media do this regularly and I assume this is to whip people up into a frenzy. It's very dishonest.

Sounds like a conspiracy theory.

Sounds like a conspiracy theory.

So you're going to claim it doesn't happen. I don't know why it happens but it definitely does:

Why is it ridiculous to point out if I think the reporting is unfair? You may disagree with my opinion but it isn't ridiculous. You certainly didn't think it was ridiculous when people had an issue with how the trans rapist was reported including in the headline.

Damn man, do you keep a list of articles that have offended you in this way? And, yes, I think your assessment sounds like a conspiracy theory.

Since all of the links you just posted seemed to be US focused, I'm just curious, are you unaware that the US has a long history of race based violence against black people? Do you think it might be reasonable, given that context, for news sources to be careful about contributing to hysteria?
