"...she's still the best member of council."

All part of the ongoing media narrative about those "crazy colored folks down in the city." The only problem is one of reality, Monica resigned, and then was handed a crushing primary defeat by those same "crazy colored" voters. But, you know, if stereotypes and reality don't agree, print the stereotype... it sells more papers, keeps more viewers, and gets more hits.

100% Red Meat.

It's so naked and blatant.

Do the people this is designed to rile up ever get offended at this? That the media thinks so little of them that they'd actually publish this unmasked attempt to stoke their uglier and baser reactions?

I personally don't like being pandered to this blatantly.
