Watch this video:
My question is; Did the "news" station try to mislead its viewers?
Of course they did. Once again the news tries to portray young black men (women and children) in the worst light possible. The story of the shooting was bad enough, another life lost for no reason, but to try the protray the child as a future thug is shameful. Why would they even do this?
WBBM's communications director Shawnelle Richie has stated the following on the situation:
We accept responsibility for the mistakes that were made, both in the reporting and editing of the story. The video of the child should not have aired. As soon as news management identified the problem, they took immediate steps to ensure that the video would not air in subsequent newscasts. In addition, we have followed up with our employees to make sure that we all have learned from the mistakes that were made.
We will see if they will indeed learn for their mistakes.
