Kansas City Newsies Debate Mugshots

As the most "woke" of all Kansas City news stations, last week we noted the KSHB canceled mugshots. Today local progressive public radio didn't so much question the decision as applaud the move toward more socially conscious news coverage. 

Meanwhile, don't let the headline mislead . . . Stations with better ratings haven't made any pretense about using the mugshots provided by local authorities despite thoughtful complaints about the consequences public shaming via the media.

Why Some Kansas City Newsrooms Are Changing The Way They Use Mug Shots

Mug shots often carry an implication of guilt prior to sentencing, and have disproportionately affected communities of color and lower income.

  1. Ha, can't show a dark skinned person in any negative light. Even though they commit most of the violent crimes. 2020 is the year of blaming everyone besides the person responsible. Weird

  9. KSHB IS WOKE BROADCASTING

    Every day they're following a formula of:
    Divisive RACIAL news, in which Blacks are portrayed as forever victims.
    Anti-law enforcement news, in which police are portrayed as the bad guys.
    Weather
    Chiefs
    Pro-Biden/Democrats and Anti-Trump/Republicans
    Rinse
    Repeat

  11. Mug shots scare the tourist away. You Google Kansas City and all the mug shots show up. No Tax dollars. The Central Missouri tourist stop at Lee's Summit and Eastern Jackson County. Better entertainment and less DRAMA.

  12. Next, they will refuse to identify the perp. Turns out not that many white guys are named D'Quan.
