-I think to myself, must not be a white male, cause they aren't giving any details.

2). Go to Daily Mail. Top story on front page with all the details including a picture of the non-white shooter.

3) Later that day CNN puts up the story with some details (still less than what the Daily Mail had provided hours before). But story is buried and one would have to actively look for it to actually find it.

4). Two days later CNN front page headline (paraphrasing) "White suspect murders black woman in apparent road rage incident" Included on the front page is a picture of the victim and a fuzzy picture of the suspect from a freeway camera.

5.). Story stays on the front page all day. That night suspect turns himself in and the second he does his picture is front and center of the website.


-If you want to refresh your memory, here are the 2 stories, 2 days apart. I remember them because I remember at the time how funny and yet predictable it was how completely different the two stories were treated.

Both articles mentioned above have a picture of the shooter at roughly the same spot. You're not doing too well here with your objective.
Showing a picture of a suspect the next day buried in an article is very different than putting up a picture of the suspect on the front page the day the incident happened.

I am doing just fine articulating my argument. The disconnect is people making up their own versions of what I said and then pointing out to me why I am wrong using their made up version of events. Basically what you just did.
