Don't know if I'd necessarily label them racists (unlike ignorant leftists, i don't throw that term around so carelessly), but they are being disingenuous by only covering stories of white on black police brutality even though black on white is much more common.
They obviously want a race war and are fanning the flames of racial division by constantly only reporting white on black violence while ignoring black on white.

Yes. And race baiting and stoking the flames of racism causing riots and deaths is also at fault. It should not be protected speech to run round the clock news about a certain incident happening here and there, causing riots, violence, protesting, and looting. That does not fall under protected speech. But we allow pretending it is not harmful.

OAN the Leading Edge of Russian Misinformation?
https://www.theatlantic.com/politic...ngs-oan/612454/
In what appears to be a signal of intensifying political warfare ahead of the November election, One America News Network, the Trump-supporting cable channel that has been promoting anti-Biden conspiracies for several months, says it has obtained several hours of secret recordings of then–Vice President Biden’s conversations with Ukrainian officials. If such recordings exist, they’re likely linked to pro-Russian interests in Ukraine and a Russian intelligence operation, two former U.S. ambassadors to Ukraine and a former ambassador to Russia told me. The OAN employee who claims to have the tapes would not say what was on them, other than suggesting that they will be revelatory.
In the audio that has been released elsewhere so far, Biden is heard dangling the promise of financial aid to Ukraine if its government ousted a prosecutor who was seen as corrupt—which Biden has previously said publicly was his goal, as part of a push for widespread reforms. Conspiracists have alleged that this was intended to help his son Hunter escape charges of corruption, but an audit by Ukraine’s former top prosecutor released last week found no evidence of illegal activity by Hunter in his capacity as an energy-company board member.

The media can be racist in both directions, and all media we consume is biased and political, but ideally they are reporting is more or less in line with our knowledge of the situation at the moment and try to evaluate that to the best of their conscience, of course in practice that is not the case, different news outlets have institutional biases and some are outright interested in shaping political narratives for the sake of ideology, at the expense of journalistic principles.
