I remember Peter jennings and the way that the ABC World News always seemed biased against black folks in America. If there was some racist (anti-black) incident big enough, ugly enough to be worthy of ABC nationtal news coverage there was always some news story about a black guy robbing a liquor store or raping a white woman to offer "balance". If a black guy did something good or positive, or noteworthy, there was something negative right behind it to provide "ballast".

And yes, I know that it was probably the producers/newswriters and not Jennings himself at the root, but he put himself out there at the front of it all.
