And has saved countless lives across the globe. Unfortunately it didn't save nearly enough lives during Covid, because, muh, "horse paste."

I don't see the point in deliberately misrepresenting this point, but like you, not certain why 'white man' is included in the story about the capture to begin with. Though, I have this thought that certain media establishments count on their listeners being distracted with life as the 'news' plays in the background, allowing them to push/create a narrative as they see fit. If a family has CNN/Fox/ABC etc on in the background while getting ready for work, making breakfast etc, these details can escape people. hey Leo. Yeah I hope it wasn't intentional. It just makes he appear idiotic to call a dark skinned person white. But yes I say again that his skin color really isn't the issue here. Im white married to a Hispanic. My kids have a skin color in between the both of us. I think they identify as "Hispanic" when queried on forms requiring an answer to ethnicity. I've seen whiter than me Hispanic people though who had European heritage. To me the color of skin should be irrelevant

I've seen whiter than me Hispanic people though who had European heritage. To me the color of skin should be irrelevant Quite a few decades ago, I received some media training for the company I worked for at the time. It wasn't intended for anything beyond a local market and I looked at it as a resume booster. The thing that was interesting was the....uh...staged aspect of things like TV appearances, ambush interviews, and desire to get someone to say something newsworthy. So, while it would be a stretch to say there wasn't a desire to hear a truthful answer, it wasn't at all a problem for the media if some poor soul said something unintentionally inaccurate. Or, if they raised questions outside the scope of the subject that was agreed upon to be discussed. Or, cut and paste. The training also included a review of several high-profile scenarios where the 'free and independent' press sure seemed a lot more like a well-oiled corporate machine looking to push agendas, sell advertising and make some $$$. It was around this time I first became a media skeptic, and which makes me question intent and agenda when something like this happens. In the intervening decades, if anything, I've grown more skeptical of intent, truthfulness and less likely to think someone just had a bad day. Maybe that happened here...but on the whole I'm quite unconvinced.
