Mr. Blackwell

So, in an effort to catalogue main stream media bias I present this.

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/hillary-clinton-jokes-they-all-look-alike-after-interviewer-mixes-up-cory-booker-and-eric-holder

"They all look alike"

That's the thing that sticks. All black people look the same. So, Hillary is racist. The headline says so. Because she said it.

BUT

context actually does matter.

It was the "reporter" who got confused about which black Democrat said: "kick them in their shins" or whatever when asking Hillary about it. Hillary corrected her confusion over who said the quote by basically saying...."Oh you don't know what the f**k you are talking about do you?"

In other words, it was the reporter who was interviewing Hillary that couldn't tell the difference between Eric Holder and Cory Booker...Not Hillary.

But Fox is making it out like Hillary is the one who thinks all black people look alike.

It is disgusting that Fox news did this but I am aware the other news organizations do similar things.

Naturally. Who else can you blame? Late night comedians with talk shows?
