I'm sure all of us have heard how our media reports are biased and stories are told in such a way as to direct the public's perception to a foregone conclusion. I'm not sure that it's working.
Paula Deen's indiscretion was a major flap a couple of weeks ago. "Everyone" seemed to condemn her and her sponsors were dropping like flies. However, I read quite a few (not all, I do have a life) comments on these stories and I did not see one person who agreed with how Paula was being treated. Did the media ever bother to acknowledge this? Not that I saw.
Now, today, our illustrious leader is once again comparing himself to the teenager shot in Florida. The poor man has been racially profiled (until he became a Senator - how in the heck did the discriminators know this; did he wear a sign?)
I call bullshit on his assertion that a lone woman in an elevator will "clutch her purse to herself" if a black man steps in. She probably would do the same if a white man or gang of teenagers joined her. A woman alone is vulnerable, you asshole.
Anyway, again the commenters seem to disagree with what is being said. I even saw one call the President out - "Obama will have blood on his hands if the hoodies commit violence at the marches this weekend. Blood."
I skimmed perhaps 30 comments to find that one again. Lots of comments calling the POTUS a racist, even if he is half white. How quickly he forgets...

MARGARET THATCHER'S FUNERAL
You probably already know this, but in case it slipped your mind, here’s a reminder of some current history....
President Obama was a no-show at Margaret Thatcher's funeral despite being invited to attend and thus snubbing England's invitation as a representative of the American people. Joe Biden also refused, as did Hillary Clinton.
(By the way, former Secretary of State George Schultz went to the funeral……)
The British took note of the fact that the Obama administration chose not to send a single senior member of the Cabinet. In fact, no actively serving, elected Democrat attended Lady Thatcher’s funeral.
THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION DID, HOWEVER, SEND A FORMAL DELEGATION, OF 14, TO THE FUNERAL OF SOCIALIST DICTATOR VENEZUELAN PRESIDENT HUGO CHAVEZ, WHO DIED LAST MONTH.
I was raised with the belief that even if you had contempt for the individual, you honored the rank. Guess our current administration didn't get that memo.
