During his opening statement in Tuesday night’s CNN debate, Dr. Ben Carson used part of his precious time to hold a moment of silence for the victims of the San Bernardino terror attack. Naturally, our horrible, awful, childish, useless, corrupt media laughed at him.

Our media despise this black apostate. How dare he be black and Republican! Therefore, everything he does must be mocked and undermined.

BuzzFeed, NPR, NBC, ESPN, ABC and others are all represented below.
