But why? Ferguson is an unhappy story that real people would like to fade away. Nobody likes 18 year olds getting shot by police. Nobody likes riots and burning down businesses. All real people would like the Ferguson story to get over with. Obama seems to be working to keep Ferguson going in the news. He held that special conference at the White House about it. He invited head line grabbing race hustler Al Sharpton to the conference.
Who does Obama think he is appealing to? There is a small minority of blacks, those who feel society is unfair to them, people we used to call the Black Panthers back in the day, who want to keep the riots going until something good happens for them. This is a small minority of all blacks. So Ferguson appeals to a minority of a minority. So why does Obama care?
Or, does Obama want the newsies to stay on the Ferguson story because otherwise they would be reporting about something even worse for his administration? And what might that be?
