The conservative New York Post reported AL ROKER for dressing up as a white guy.
It was their FRONT PAGE HEADLINE on their website.
Then they backed down. They became biased.
How many "YOU A RACIST" tweets, or angry phone calls did it take for the New York Post to SLANT their headline?
Within hours, the neutral word "DEFENDS" was replaced with "FIRES BACK," and "KILLJOYS" appeared in the headline.
At first, The New York Post was reporting the news. Then, SLANTING IT in favor of Roker, the righteous black man who "FIRES BACK" at the "KILLJOYS."
It began "trending" not as a news item, but as an ass-licking defense of Al Roker. This is a guy who one day happily watched his co-worker get FIRED for merely wondering about a racial problem...and a few days later, figured it was OK to be a white guy for Halloween.
Double standard? Awww, no. The New York Post reverses itself.
What about the KILLJOYS who decided a white female at NBC had to be FIRED for off-handedly wondering about blackface as part of a Halloween costume?
PS, newspapers are supposed to just REPORT the news, and leave the EDITORIALIZING to the editorial page. Aren't they?
Nice one, New York Post, give Trump more fodder for his "fake news" charges.
