You do understand that it wasn't the governor who told the joke, don't you?

Absolutely. Still, if the situation was where there was a prominent republican sitting at the same table as someone who told a joke that could be considered racist, the media would not let us forget the republican was friends with a racist.

That's how it would be played out.

Tell me with I'm wrong. This is what I am pointing out. The way the media uses subtle bias. The pick and choose what to report and highlight.

[Extra Stout]

Yeah, you're right. Bob Herbert probably would have written a column about how yet another Republican is consorting with racists.

[ChumpDumper]

Tell me with I'm wrong.

You're wrong.

If the press was going to soft-pedal this, it never would have been reported at all.

Still, if the situation was where there was a prominent republican sitting at the same table as someone who told a joke that could be considered racist, the media would not let us forget the republican was friends with a racist.

Friends? There was no mention that the governor even knew this man. You are lying.
