There's a list of links to a half dozen articles discussing the embarrassment folks want journalists of color to feel over their respective reactions to Kerry (appreciative) and Bush (polite).

Unity journalists embarrassed by reactions to Kerry, Bush
Baltimore Sun
Houston Chronicle suburban editor Pete McConnell says of the Unity convention crowd's reactions to President Bush and John Kerry: "I was embarrassed. I know who I'm going to vote for in November, but I didn't think we ought to be out there snickering and laughing and giving standing ovations. As a group, we should have kept ourselves in check." Tucson Citizen photog Val Canez adds: "As a registered Republican, I tend to feel that a lot of journalists lean to the left wing and just don't take President Bush seriously. How people reacted today proved that for me."

Lets face it: minorities as a whole don't like Bush.

Non-objectivity is a lie. If some folk are embarrassed, so be it. There's nothing wrong with reacting to obvious differences.

The folks at Faux News ain't worring about their partisan reactions -- they literally cream their pants with nearly every utterance from Bush.
