The truth gets buried under the 'big story'

Gregory Kane has another good article about the double standard playing within the Black community. Why do the liberals bash Cosby but say nothing about a stabbing at an awards show...an awards show for pete's sake! Another good Kane article..//JW sends.

IN THE journalism business, there's your basic news story. And then there's the news story with legs. We media types love the story with legs. And there was one story in 2004 that had enough legs to win an Olympic marathon several times over. That story would be the ruckus comedian Bill Cosby caused in May, when he dared utter what everybody knew was the truth: that there are black Americans who aren't holding up their end of the bargain when it comes to educating their children.

The reaction was one of two types: praise for Cosby from liberal commentators and columnists who would have called down the wrath of God on a conservative of whatever hue who had said the same thing. Yes, black Americans have reached the pathetic state where lies, flapdoodle and egregious nonsense spoken by liberals is preferable to truth spoken by conservatives, if the topic happens to be anything about black folks.
