i watch a lot of true crime:

dateline, 20/20, 48 hours...not ID.

but i have noticed..there is a narrative of black people often being the perpetrators of violent crime.

do you believe this is a deliberate narrative on the part of media, with the intent to divide?

or..do you think it is mostly representative..

orrr..do you think the stories are chosen solely on the intrigue of said stories?

The media skews overwhelmingly liberal, so I doubt their narrative is served by that. I do think they LOVE to point out alleged "differences" to divide and conquer, yes, I believe that with every fiber of my being.

Really, though, in TV there's a saying "if it bleeds it leads", so that is usually the criterion. There's also "it smells, but it sells!"

I would not look at any MSM show as representative of anything. They are largely bastards. They'd sell their souls for ratings and $$, and a lot of them have.
