When two white newspaper reporters for the Virginian-Pilot were driving through Norfolk, and were set upon and beaten by a mob of young blacks — beaten so badly that they had to take a week off from work — that might sound like news that should have been reported, at least by their own newspaper. But it wasn’t.
The O’Reilly Factor on Fox News Channel was the first major television program to report this incident. Yet this story is not just a Norfolk story, either in what happened or in how the media and the authorities have tried to sweep it under the rug.
Similar episodes of unprovoked violence by young black gangs against white people chosen at random on beaches, in shopping malls, or in other public places have occurred in Philadelphia, New York, Denver, Chicago, Cleveland, Washington, Los Angeles, and other places across the country. Both the authorities and the media tend to try to sweep these episodes under the rug.

Well, we have to understand that the media is liberal, and the liberal views affect their news judgement.
Media bias isn’t only seen in matters such as the media being a cheerleader for Obama and liberals in general. It’s also found in seeing which stories they cover, and which stories they choose not to cover.
In the liberal mind, black gangster types are frustrated about the legacy of slavery and Jim Crow, they have grappled with poverty, they have suffered with inadequate schools, raised by baby mamas, etc. Because of all of these things, they can’t be held responsible for their behavior, or held to the same standards as other criminal types. The liberals in the news room make excuses for their behavior and choose to ignore the story.
So, add it all up, and stories such as this go unreported. There’s anecdotal evidence that this black youth gang flash mob activity is becoming rampant, but that also is barely reported in the MSM. It offends their liberal sensibilities to report anything which makes certain groups of people look bad.
read this yesterday- the race war is not being censored, its just more and more people are starting to acknowledge the complete double standard when it comes to racism towards whites in this nation...
