Right. I'm sure it's because of Fox 45 that suburbanites have a negative image of Baltimore, not the fact that the city currently has the same murder rate as El Salvador.

No, but it contributes to them believing that a high murder rate in certain sections of the urban core is some magical phenomenon that has no root causes and can only be solved by pumping an even higher % of our resources into police who spend 96% of their time not actually solving violent crime lol

Baltimore is complicated and there are serious problems. But fearmongering doesn't fix them.
