Cleveland School Shooting Coverage
I just read about the school shooting that took place in Cleveland recently and I don't think that there was any justice in the way the writers handled the race issue. In most news articles, you are suppose to first identify what the situation is and then state who is involved. When stating who is involved, you give a accurate description of who the persons are. The writers didn't identify Asa's race until close to the end of the story, but did manage to give the other kids, which were 85 percent black, a bad look as if they were all bad people. They even made Asa, the 14-year-old shooter, look very bad since he did shoot four people. He was probably a good kid that was driven bad, but from reading the story, one wouldn't be able to tell that off top.
