There was no room in their stories for a black conservative or anyone who might be critical of the Black Left. What might be surprising is NPR then airing a story getting out a hanky for sex offenders and warning about how a so-called “vigilante”…

MSNBC’s Richard Wolffe: Colin Powell a ‘National Treasure
