Brian reads Dana Milbank the riot act (perhaps more literally than we would wish.)

Dear Dana Milbank,

In your Washington Post column of Nov. 14th you accuse Steve Bannon of Breitbart News of "...whipping up racial fears..." for showing videotape of a white Chicago man being assaulted after the election, apparently for voting Republican. How, sir, is this whipping up racial fears, unless the video has been doctored or fabricated, which no one has yet suggested? Would your newspaper suggest a policy of ignoring assaults committed by African-Americans against whites in hopes of calming racially troubled waters? Would your newspaper extend that policy to ignoring assaults committed by whites against African-Americans in hopes of calming racial difficulties? Perhaps I am confused here but I would like to hear a Washington Post columnist explain the paper's definition of "...whipping up racial fears".
