Comment on Why Does a Suspected Anti-Muslim Attack Barely Make the News?

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.
