A conservative media analyst says the mainstream media will once
again be demonstrating its bias if it quickly ends its coverage of Harry Reid's
controversial race remarks like the White House wants.
The new book Game Change recounts how Senate
Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nevada) in 2008 described then presidential
candidate Barack Obama as a "light-skinned" black American, -----------------------."
Reid issued a statement
Saturday, saying: "I deeply regret using such a poor choice of words. I
sincerely apologize for offending any and all Americans, especially
African-Americans, for my improper comments." (Reid, race, and regret - and that's
all )
Tim Graham, director of media analysis at the Media Research Center, says when it
comes to race, if a Republican had said the same thing Reid did, there would
have been a different tone to the press coverage than what people are currently
hearing.
(There should be no debate that there is a double standard. People like Rev. Sharpton who is a Pastor only in name has supported Mr. Reid along with others on the left who go after those on the right all the time. I guess if you are following the politics of the left you can say whatever you want to. How sad and a big outrage!)
