The purpose of the news...like much of the media...is not only to make money but to perpetuate progaganda, especially of a social or political nature. Every news organization whether it's television, radio, paper, or on-line has an "editor". The editing department...much like the Prosecutor's office for a district....gets to decide what makes the news and what doesn't and how it's presented. Chicago....like Atlanta...has some of the most educated and wealthy Black people in this nation and is one of the few cities that can boast majority Black wealthy neighborhoods like South Lake Shore and a few others.....but you'd never know this watching the national media's portrayal of Black Chicago. Like reporting suicides, when they constantly show homicides on television over and over again they contribute to the murder rate going up by de-valuing Black life and desensitizing the public to the death of Black people.
