Wrong target

The Head of the Met has suggested that the British media are "institutionally racist" because they are more likely to report the murder of a white person than that of someone from an ethnic background. The facts are right, but the conclusion's wrong - the media aren't institutionally racist, they're institutionally commercialist. Their only interest is selling papers, and they will publish whatever assists that end. So if there is any question of racism, then I fear the finger has to be pointed at us, the readers.
