March, a white award-winning broadcast news anchorin Pittsburgh posted on her professional Facebook page what she claimedwas a heartfelt call to actionon the perceived black-on-black crime epidemic in the United States, particularlyin the city she’d covered for almost 20 years.
The post came two weeks after she covered amass shooting at a backyard barbecuethat left four people injured and six dead, including a pregnant woman, in Wilkinsburg, amajority black borough. The district attorney called the heinous crimecalculated, planned and one of the “most brutal” he had seen in his 18-year tenure.
Seeing this american apartheid unfold is really making me fucking lose it.

The veteran journalistdrew her own conclusions about the perpetrators anyway, comments that were decried as racist and demeaning — and that eventually cost her her job.
“You needn’t be a criminal profiler to draw a mental sketch of the killers who broke so many hearts two weeks ago Wednesday,” Bellwrote on Facebook, words that were later deleted. “… They are young black men, likely in their teens or in their early 20s. They have multiple siblings from multiple fathers and their mothers work multiple jobs. These boys have been in the system before. They’ve grown up there. They know the police. They’ve been arrested.”

Was she wrong?

She continued, claiming she found “HOPE” after watching a young, African American bus boy hustling at his restaurant job while Bell was out to eat with her husband and sons. She complimented the teen through his manager, who later passed the praise on to him.
“It will be some time before I forget the smile that beamed across that young worker’s face — or the look in his eyes as we caught each other’s gaze,” Bell wrote. “I wonder how long it had been since someone told him he was special.”

immediately, critics called her words racist and accused Bell of having a white savior complex. Two days later, the anchor removed the Facebook post and apologized. Seven days after that, on the same day as a meeting between the station management and the Pittsburgh Black Media Federation, the TV station fired her.
“WTAE has ended its relationship with anchor Wendy Bell,” read a statement from the station’s parent company, Hearst Television, reported thePittsburgh Post-Gazette. “Wendy’s recent comments on a WTAE Facebook page were inconsistent with the company’s ethics and journalistic standards.”
