Now we know, of course, that the black reporters were telling it as it was. The editors would have angrily denied that they were being racist.
This is a fascinating insight. the tendency to soften because it cant be as bad as you say and because you have an agenda. of course people do have agendas and some abuse or distort. However the ruling view is ultimately more dismissive than it should be even while not strictly being racist. Racist system more than racist individual.
