Spot the irony, chapter 2

YOU ARE VISITING THE OLD MALKIN(S)WATCH. THAT'S FANTASTIC. PLEASE VISIT THE NEW MALKIN(S)WATCH WHEN YOU GET A CHANCE.
Malkin accuses the MSM of being
predisposed to harp on law enforcement as an inherently racist and reckless institution, [and] hyp[ing] the hellions at the expense of the heroes...

As Jan Golab writes in a cover story for The American Enterprise magazine this month on how political correctness undermines policing: "Today, cops all across the United States battle a foe as destructive as crime itself: the presumption of common prejudice. This view has been fanned by a media elite which has made 'diversity' its virtual religion." The anti-cop bias, Golab notes, comes through the national MSM's "sins of omission— the stories never told. Propaganda, as Orwell said, is in what gets left out."
So. The MSM handpicks a few stories in order to paint a scary, biased portrait of the typical police officer as dangerous and a detriment to society.

This one's a little harder, but I have faith in you!
