[QUOTE="RWIsrael, post: 1244841, member: 15650"] The UK has a twist on this - when minorities are involved, all news stories will be in passive language, ie "Girl, 13, raped in park", "Parents mourn their beautiful murdered daughter" etc. All about playing up sympathy for the victim and hitting the emotional buttons, but no mention of the attacker or any identifying features.
