I have a question. Why is the news media afraid to cover this? When some idiot kills a black man, the media has no trouble blaring it all over the place. I assume it’s because they fear they’ll be fiercely criticized for reporting it.

Wish there was a good answer for that, Pop...I really do...we have entered into a world where others think they know what is in your best interest to know or not know and were the press is no longer willing to tell a story for fear of some sort of PC backlash or the possibility of refuting so-called hate crime laws or starting a “skinhead” riot...who knows...I’ve heard a buch of theories but they all lead to the same place...the press is trying to think for us and not let us make our own judgements...
