"Some political analysts say they think the country may accept a woman as president. But they are less sure about an African-American, even one as popular as Barack Obama."
Why do journalists, in trying to be unbiased, present such things as if they're okay? Why not just say it like it is -- more Americans are racist than are sexist.
you left out the continuing effort by the Post to villify Sheldon Silver because he is an Orthodox Jew. Today they accuse him of being treated as a VIP -- even though he pays for his own tickets to Rangers hockey games and they make sure to include a photo of Silver with his Black hat on his head to try and create a negative impression.
Last week he was the Orthodox Jew who loves pork... even though it's legal and been part of governing for leaders of legilsative bodies since there were legislative bodies. Of course, the Post hasn't given a fraction of the space and certainly no lead editorial to Joe Bruno's use of pork to a for-profit company with no human or social service outcomes.
Since the buck has to stop with Rupert Murdoch, not just his editors, I can only conclude that Murdoch is an anti-semite and anti-religious Jews.
Funny because he is always making believe how pro-family he and his companies are. Except in real life, Murdoch's papers are filled with pictures of women without underwear and practically nude or inebriated sisters; and in his personal life he abandons his wife of decades for a younger Asian woman. I feal there are no principles in the man.
