In the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Floyd https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Floyd article, they mention an event where he "held a pistol to a woman's stomach", but leave out that she was pregnant so it doesn't look as bad.
Example 2, there was two mass shooting in March:
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2021_Boulder_shooting https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2021_Boulder_shooting
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2021_Atlanta_spa_shootings https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2021_Atlanta_spa_shootings
In the Boulder shooting, all victims where white and the shooter was targeting white people but they don't mention any of that.
In the Atlanta shootings, the article goes out of its way to mention 6 of 8 victims where asian (asian-hate narrative). In reality, many spa owners are asian.
Theres is definitely a bias in their editing.
- middleclick 5y agoThe George Floyd thing is not mentioned because it's not true: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2020/07/15/fact-check-viral-photo-doesnt-show-george-floyd-assault-victim/5415937002/ https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2020/07/15/fac...
- codeecan 5y agoyes, I was misinformed, the report says there was a young child at home, but NOT that she was pregnant. The child being there is not mentioned in the wiki, my original point was wrong, but I think the bias still stands.
