No, it's just true. You can take a fact and use it to support a larger racist worldview composed of other facts, many of which may be false, contributing to a poorly reasoned out illogical perspective, or one that is lacking key details.
Or you can simply take that fact and look at it in isolation, or in combination with true statements, and all the necessary key details, and form a conclusion that does not involve bigotry.
What you are talking about is what people take away from the story. If the media is trying to control what people take away from the story, by not publishing it, because it could potentially help racists further ratify an already flawed worldview, then that is actually having the opposite effect right now, and it is a poor, unethical strategy. The media should report the facts, and should report on important issues with a fair amount of coverage, the volume of which is unaffected by agenda.
