We keep getting variations on the following question from our neutral, objective, wholly unbiased, Liberal, corporate-run, news media.

What we don’t see is the following question.
Can some of the support for President Barack Obama’s policies be attributed to racism?
If racism is wrong, then racism is wrong regardless of whether our skin is white, yellow, red or black. If racism is wrong, then racism is wrong regardless of whether our racial preference is for a majority or a minority. Unfortunately, given the corporate news media’s demonstrated agenda, those simple observations are not evident.

Yep, that moment was revealing alright — of half of the story.
