White guy springs into action and gets punished. Blacks guy just watches. Apathy reins.

“When Covid cases were rising in the U.S., the news coverage emphasized the increase. When cases were falling, the coverage instead focused on those places where cases were rising. And when vaccine research began showing positive results, the coverage downplayed it,...”
