Stupid biased headline. Alternate headlines that have different biases.

  • White man pleads guilty to possessing child pornography.
  • Utah man pleads guilty to possessing child pornography.
  • Utah citizen pleads guilty to possessing child pornography.
  • Unemployed man pleads guilty to possessing child pornography. (not sure if the guy is actually unemployed)

None of the above are as click-baity which is why they weren't chosen.

If he had been a priest, it would have said so and he would show up on https://lemmy.world/c/priest_arrested

Maybe so, but that also would've been bias and my comment wouldn't change (actually it'd be verbatim). In both cases, who gives a crap? This kind of news is just not that interesting outside of driving clicks. I didn't know this person before and I won't remember him later. I've also learned nothing about how pervasive child pornography might be amongst members of the Patriot Front.
