There are many factors causing Americans to experience “Civil Rights Fatigue.” One is the news media's refusal to criticize our first black president. During his five and a half years in office, members of the media haven't wavered in their protection of this president, even abandoning their integrity in the process, losing readers and credibility. Of course, slanted news reports have always been an essential ingredient of the Civil Rights movement. Indeed, the movement would not have survived without these deceptive media reports. But, after all these years, the public is losing its gullibility.
