   ...flagship news programme ex-editor, speaking about Ian Blair's moronic   
   comments:   
      
   'No crime attracts more press or television attention than when the   
   police have let it be known that a member of our ethnic minorities has   
   been attacked for racist reasons. Compare, for example, the coverage   
   given to the brutal murders of Anthony Walker, a black man killed by   
   two white men with an axe in Liverpool, and, in the same week, Richard   
   Whelan, a white man who was stabbed to death by a black man on a bus in   
   London.   
      
   Walker's murder was front-page news and the lead story on our television   
   bulletins; Whelan's murder - well, can you remember hearing about it at all?   
   And then there's Christopher Yates. Does his name ring a bell? I bet it   
   doesn't. In late 2004 he was killed by three Asian men who had beforehand   
   laughed about killing a white man. Didn't make much of a splash. If our   
   media is institutionally racist, then it is institutionally racist the other   
   way around.'
