What's with the grand conspirafcy theory. The news hasn't run the story because they are just clueless as to what deserves coverage. THey put ratings in front of newsworthiness every time.

In a sense, you're correct. The news stations/media are looking for grandiose headlines to spike their ratings. However, if the races were reversed, this would have made national news, and Sharpton would have another reason to come to Philly. My opinion--double standard.
