Black or white matters

I ought to listen to more radio.
This week in media and influence, I wonder why this sort of story didn't show up in my recommended news feed when it first came out. Maybe whatever drives these recommendations has a sense of self-preservation, since it's another reason to question these trusted names in news even further. I'm plenty disgusted with the views on the opposing networks and the presentation of those views. It just so happens that this incident was more closely tied to one network than any other.
In the wake of such a gaffe, what flaws should I assume about this well-educated, highly motivated, politically-focused individual? What should I assume about the parent organization that associates itself with a person (and team) who promote such views?
Where is that zombie apocalypse when you need one?
