Not the media, MSNBC

My god, can't we agree that this single instance is somewhat dishonest. Yes there were whites with weapons, but they chose to show the black guy, probably because his weapons were more imposing, and they appear to deliberately omit the fact that he was black.

It is not a conclusive thing but it is an isolated instance of journalistic dishonesty, Okay?
