NEW YORK (AP) — The Associated Press said Tuesday it will no longer run the names of people charged with minor crimes, out of concern that such stories can have a long, damaging afterlife on the internet that can make it hard for individuals to move on with their lives.

By all means, “journalists,” protect the criminals from their victims and society at large.

[Mark]

Just those who’s name is hard to pronounce.

[Captain Rhino]

Facts meet Memory Hole. Whoosh!

[Tennessee Nana]

What’s ‘minor crime’ ???

Does it depend on the perps skin color ???

[Openurmind]

Well that is absolutely true, especially before you are convicted of anything. Too late, no getting it back even if you are found innocent and never convicted.

[Mr.Unique]

Who, What, Where, When, Why, How;

[Secret Agent Man]

“As liberal woke media, we just can no longer identify minorities engaged in criminal acts.”

“They are saints, and victims, and never do anything wrong, much less criminal.”

“Further, we are having incredible difficulties spelling their bizarre names. T’quonda? WTF is that?”

[proust]

Now it’s someone did something.

[ealgeone]

Except when it’s a white conservative. Then we will know everything about him in about ten minutes after the “crime”.

[Organic Panic]

Yeah. Because Darquavious, Shaniqua, Gomez kind of give it don’t fit the narrative.

[gr8eman]

So if Donald Trump steals a candy bar from 7-11, they won;t report it?

[kiryandil]

“Terrorist News” weighs in...

[ronnie raygun]

except if their white, right AP?

[Gay State Conservative]

IOW they’ll only mention the names of white people.

[JimRed]

Swell- you won’t know if you have an untrustworthy or dangerous neighbor.
