Given the context of the incident, can anyone think of a valid 'news' reason why it should not have been mentioned on the TV and radio? |
Those video reports are the broadcast side as well.
Also Newnight covered it last night with ethnicity of the alleged perpetrators and how that relates to the German position of refugees is front and center of the report:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode...night-06012016 (about 15:20 in). If you watch it cannot be claimed they aren't mentioning it or downplaying it. The story itself is more about the refugees than the attacks themselves and the possible ramifications of that.
It doesn't form the central part of the Radio 4 Today's brief interview in this clip:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p03dq4f9 but it is mentioned at the end and I can't find the report/story of which this interview would have been related.
