We’ve shown how Media Research Center writer Jorge Bonilla is obsessed with the (non-white) ethnic identity of people accused of committing crimes. He did this again in a June 25 post:
What is it with ABC News personnel not being able to offer ethnic descriptors of suspected sexual predators on the loose? Once again, critical details are left out of a story- this time, as an attempted rapist is loose in New York’s Central Park.
[…]As I mentioned, this isn’t the first time that ABC engages in this nonsense. When a sexual predator was loose in Arizona, ABC offered as little identifying information as possible about the alleged predator- even while he was still loose in the community.
[…]Pretty broad range of possibilities, which is not what you want during a manhunt. We later found out the suspect was likely Hispanic.
In this case, the ethnic concealment is more ridiculous because the video package showed the NYPD Chief of Patrol clearly stating that the suspect is black- which could be useful when performing a search operation.But what does Diane Macedo offer up to close the report?
MACEDO: Police describe him as being in his 30s, about six feet tall, medium build with curly hair, and they say he was wearing a light shirt and shorts.
Again, that’s a pretty broad range of possibility without the ethnic identifying information. Is this curly hair blond? Red? Why not just repeat what the Chief of Patrol already said? I
Instead, we see that the woke mind virus at ABC News defers to no one- not even to the potential next victim of a rapist loose in Central Park.
Bonilla ignores the fact that the ethnicity of a suspect in a local crime is largely irrelevant to a national newscast audience unaffected by the crime, so it’s irrelevant for ABC to obsess over it the way Bonilla demands.
We don’t recall Bonilla ever writing a post about a crime in which the suspect was white — which tells us that his goal here is to portray all non-white people as criminals to feed the right-wing “scary black person” narrative.
