Question about those "predominantly white crowds in WI": Just Wondering Share26 Share Post PrintFebruary 18, 2011 Posted by John at 9:40 PM A reader asks a good question about news coverage of events in Wisconsin: BTW...in no MSM coverage I have seen is there ANY note that the crowd is "predominantly white".... Why is that? Heh. We all remember how liberal news coverage of tea party rallies rarely failed to note that they were "predominantly white." Somehow, that is no longer a salient fact when the same outlets cover illegal sick-outs by Wisconsin teachers. Why would that be? Obviously, I'm just kidding, as was our reader. We all know the answer. powerlineblog.com
