  This is just in: social media isnt mainstream news.

  The Jewish man who got stabbed made frontpage multiple days in a row and it was directly called a terror attack.

      Compare how the Golders Green attack and this one were reported by BBC and other media outlets. Golders Green insisted it was “terrorism” and he was a “terrorist”. It was definite and insistent.

      Count how many times this BBC report uses “allegedly” and “appearing”/ “appears”. Far more moderate and tentative. This is what happens with these type of attacks: if you’re brown or black it’s certainly “terrorism” and if you’re white British then it’s possibly an “incident” of some sort.

      Two-tier reporting.
