CHICAGO TRIBUNE implies their Readers are Racists

By CHICAGO TRIBUNE “LOGIC”, in “Race and the 'flash mob' attacks” mentioning the Race of a Group of Criminals is Racist. Is then mentioning "White" Racists, in Affirmative Action Articles, also Racist? Is using the Word "German" in reference to exterminating Jews, racist? Would even mentioning Jews as Victims be racist? Is mentioning Race in Articles that deal with Genocide, Racist? Since Chicago Tribune regularly talks about Race & regularly mentions Race in Crimes like the Holocaust & Apartheid in South Africa, can we conclude by their own “LOGIC” that they are Racists?

If the Argument is that the emphasis should be on the Criminals & not Race then this is a "sound general policy ". These Perpetuators are not “Black” or “White” “Germans” or “Jews” “Catholic” or “Protestant” but Criminals, BUT, NOT to give a description that a Group of Perpetuators are of one Race, & the Victims are of another Race is Criminal Negligence. It is Criminal Negligence because it obstructs pertinent Information that could bring Criminals to Justice.

Does the Chicago Tribune actually BELIEVE this has nothing to do with Political Correctness & that they are following a Higher Calling? A better Argument is that because they have had no opposition, until now, to their Propaganda, it quite possible they actually believe their own “LOGIC”. When Readers now have a Voice through the alternative Media & can talk back, instead of having an intelligent Debate, the CHICAGO TRIBUNE implies their Readers are Racists!

In this Article, the Chicago Tribune attempts to shore up it’s worth as a viable propaganda Venue. When they resort to Ad Hominem attacks on their Readers they have lost all credibility. It is time to realize that the Main Stream Media is a complete waste of Time.

ARTICLE EXCERPTS ------------ Race and the 'flash mob' attacks, by Steve Chapman, 3:24 p.m. CDT, June 8, 2011
Here's my question about the teenagers who have been attacking and robbing people on North Michigan Avenue in recent days:

...

Why aren't we mentioning that the culprits are black?
There are good reasons not to identify the attackers by race. It's the newspaper's sound general policy not to mention race in a story, whether about crime or anything else, unless it has some clear relevance to the topic.
...
My question to readers accusing us of political correctness is: Why do you care so much about the attackers' race? If you fear or dislike blacks, I suppose it would confirm your prejudice. But otherwise, it tells you nothing useful.
