Reply to comment by Smurf-Sauce in Race and ethnicity appear to play an important a role in the link between psychedelic use and mental health outcomes by chrisdh79
You mean the guy that committed massive fraud is being profiled because he is white? He is in the news because he is guilty as hell. There was no profiling at all.

That’s not what profiled means in this context.
“Profiled on the news” means “featured on the news”.

You don't decide the context of someone else's comment. That is not how this works.

That’s literally what the phrase “profiled in the news” means. “Profiled in the news” is a phrase synonymous with “featured in the news”. In this instance the word “profiled” isn’t standing alone, it’s part of an oft-used phrase with an established meaning. I didn’t have to use context to glean the meaning, the phrase has a known meaning.
