Bias by Omission

I searched in vain this morning for a mention of Artur Davis' speech at the GOP convention last night in the Los Angeles Times (special GOP convention section which contained a write-up of Ann Romney's red Oscar de la Rente dress!). Not  a word, unless you want to include an aside by Mary McNamara in her column ("Folks such as...John Boehner and...Artur Davis pinned the blame firmly on President Obama...").

The sin of omission, in this case, the sin of media bias by omission. To not mention Artur Davis' speech, he, the African American who seconded Barack Obama's nomination four years ago at the Democratic National Convention who now stands boldly before the world endorsing Mitt Romney in a full-throated (and funny) speech chastising Obama for failed promises and acknowledging that he was blinded by Obama's "halo."

Once again, shame on the LA Times, and other media outlets who more-or-less boycotted Artur Davis (and other good men and women of various ethnicities who spoke clearly and boldly in support of Mr. Romney). The Democrats want to believe the GOP is racist. So they shut their eyes and cover their ears.

But we're listening. The GOP is rising and the Democratic party is shriveling and sniveling and falling apart.

Listen to Artur Davis (and while you're at it, Condi Rice, and Mia Love, and Marco Rubio, and Ted Cruz, and Herman Cain, and Susana Martinez, and...)
