Racism against Black Conservatives not being covered

Bill Randall is a candidate for Congress, running in North Carolina’s 13th Congressional District.  Mr. Randall also happens to be an African-American.  In early October, Randall had a campaign billboard vandalized with a spray-painted, vulgar phallic symbol, accompanied by the letters "KKK”. It was the kind of message that would normally launch the media into full-blown racial apoplexy.

One small problem.  Bill Randall is a Tea Party Conservative Republican.

Despite filing a report with the Wake County Sheriff’s Department on October 9, holding a press conference regarding the incident, issuing a press release, and having a local news report linked at the Breitbart.tv website, nobody in major media outlets in Raleigh have covered the story.

I just did a check of WRAL.com (Raleigh TV station website) and The News & Observer (Raleigh newspaper) website, and ....

........ nary a word.

I usually have the Raleigh AM radio station on in the afternoon; I've heard nothing there either.

SNAFU.

Even though we've all come to expect this...it's still sickening to me.

It is.  "If it isn't written down, it didn't happen".  Harrison Ford speaking Tom Clancy's line.

The media are more than simply biased or negligent. They are active, willful participants in the "fundamental transformation" and IMO a goodly number of them will thus deserve to become participants in "fundamental worm feeding" whenever their uppance eventually comes.
