This side drift can continue, of course, but back to Journalism.
It seems there are two extremes we are arguing against, both of which seem to be happening:
1) Media papering over individual crimes by refugees, for some reason. Positively, perhaps they feel that it feeds an anecdotal narrative which casts too much light on individual crimes. Negatively, they don't trust the public and it ruins the feel-good agenda. We don't need to assess motivations here, just whether people think this is happening.
2) The 'public' is not a public at all, but rather a mass of people some of whom are inherently racist and don't understand the legal system. Negative media such as The Rebel will feed on them to make a place for themselves.
Problems are solved when leaders engage with a 'public', which doesn't exist here. The 680 News comments section on facebook responds to an article about a terrorist suspect appealing his sentence by asking "why is this allowed" or saying, basically, we should just lock him away without due process.
True leadership should be able to speak to engaged publics within the larger mass of the publication and responsibly ask questions, and - yes - inform their publics. It's up to those of us who ARE informed and who have opinions to speak up in every forum possible to call out the reality of the situation.
