Or the news outlets could do a better job picking what to report on.

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.
