Painful bias is painful.
Check out these two very different Easter stories, one from NBC News and one from Fox:

Huh, which outlet would you rather spend Easter with?
Wow, NBC … really?!
NBC News is woke

If this is woke, we’d really rather they go back to sleep.

That’s more than sad. It’s wrong. Shame on @NBCNews

You’re assuming NBC can feel shame.
Here’s their original tweet:
Opinion | Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove: This Easter, Christians must remember how faith is used to defend white supremacy https://t.co/gLaTi4QAE6 via @NBCNewsTHINK
— NBC News (@NBCNews) April 1, 2018
From NBC News:
Like Jesus, King too was murdered. King died 50 years ago this week while seeking to build a cross-racial coalition to address inequality in America through a Poor People’s Campaign. In a redemption story, every crucifixion demands a resurrection. We who believe in love and justice in America this Easter must reclaim redemption from those who would use it to prop up white nationalism and bigotry. To fail to do so is not only to dishonor the memory of King and the defenders of democracy in Colfax County; it is to reject the life and witness of the resurrected Jesus, whom Christians worship today.
Alrighty then.

As an Irish Catholic this is without a doubt the stupidest, most ignorant thing I’ve read. We’ve struggled and succeeded from the grips of the bottom. From indentured slaves to being shipped off to War. “Democrats have abandoned us.” Cardinal Dolan.

What he said.
Show me where in the Bible there is support for this.
I'll wait.— The Department of No (@SantasTavern) April 1, 2018
Millions of Christians, celebrating the resurrection of the Lord (not white) should halt our celebrations, bc a villainous minority of the faith, who've already faced God's wrat & judgement upon death, committed heinous acts 145 yrs ago? That is counterproductive to forgiveness.

In other words, this is damn dumb.
Way to go, NBC.
