why is the author of this commentary a racist?
Mary, the poster was laying the sarcasm on extra thick. Most veteran Freepers have seen so much hypocrisy in the press (as have you, I'm sure), that with something this obvious, we don't even bother to use a 'sarc' tag at the end of our posts.
It's clear that the author of the article was pointing out the hypocrisy of the major media.
BTW, welcome to Free Republic.
(now don't go getting a big head because your last name is Robinson .. LOL)
