What would be the point of the media not wanting to tell the story? It was said because the perpetrator is black that the media would not want to report it on, but what does being black have to do with it?

The media wants to perpetuate the idea that only straight, white, christian men are a danger to society. This incident undercuts the narrative.

That's what I thought because it just seems that although the media reports on both black and white assailants in crimes, the white ones get a lot more attention from the media. But what is the media's goal in doing this or what is the motivation? A lot of people talk about how the media does it more with white assailants, but no one talks about why, it seems?
