Via Hot Air, we have this report about how the Washington Post didn’t initially cover the Obama / Wright controversy……

In fairness, he talked about it frequently. So frequently then when story blew up, my first thought was, “Sean was right.” Why Fox never thought to buy the DVDs is a mystery.

My first thought was “Hasn’t this been covered?” But I guess that’s because I’m one of those bigoted uninformed talk radio listeners who live in a hole away from the real media.

Nuance! The new pastor: It’s a lynching! But of course it is, darling. Whitewash/blackout!……

As far as the MSM, the nightly news is crumbling and newspapers are going broke and they all wonder why. Why watch biased news or buy a biased newspaper? When we start getting just the news, unfiltered through their ignorant liberal heads perhaps we will return to t.v. and newspapers. Or, we might just sit on the Internet where you can find anything and everything in a nanosecond.

Yah.

Alright, you people, don’t you understand. America is a racist country,already.

That’s such an overused expression that it has lost any relavent meaning. Besides the Wright issue has little or nothing to do with race as it stands by itself as being blatantly anti-American. Anyone white, black or purple would draw an equal amount of justified criticism.

Fourth Estate

It’s undeniable…It’s irrefutable.

Sins of omission collusion.

They suffer from the bigotry of very low expectation, and I’m guilty. Think how embarrassed millions of blacks are to have these morons called “Black Leaders”.

People like Bill Cosby try and identify the problems within the black community by pointing out the destruction of the family structure and get ostracized for it.

What Christian belief does the Rev. Wright preach from? What is he propagating to the youth of his congregation? What has Barack Hussein Obama learned in 20 years of Rev. Wright’s lessons?

Alright, you people, don’t you understand. America is a racist country,already. Got that. Now to our next headline.

America pulls for the underdog too.

Once we come to grips with the fact that everyone has their strengths and weaknesses, and they are not all the same, we will be in this round robin. Making general statements about ethnic groups made up of unique individuals is not acceptable. Many black leaders love to play the victim card, but thinking people realize that can only account for so much, not everything.

We can’t handle the truth.

But apparently, the Washington Post has decided that if anyone else on the planet has covered a story they don’t want to cover, that justifies them not having to cover it at all. It’s not only a lazy cop-out on their part, but it calls into question the whole point of even subscribing to the Washington Post for news, as opposed to signing up simply to have your own belief structure validated, if you’re a liberal Democrat. If you want to be a full-service newspaper (or a TV news network), you have to report on stories that both validate and go against your personal beliefs, especially when the internet makes it so easy to show that stories are being left uncovered.
