Most media outlets pick up stories from the Associated Press and this source is the most guilty of creating "news items" - such as this one. Individual news outlets reduce staffing levels and fill their pages with AP content less expensively than by hiring their own reporters. I'm surprised the reporters union lets them get away with it.

The problem for the reader is that AP content is biased, invented, trivial, nit picky and mean spirited. If I could filter out AP articles and ignore them I would - but there wouldn't be much real news left. The more the media bosses rely on AP for content the worse it will get.

Before reading articles, I recommend first reviewing the source. If it says AP or Associated Press, ignore it - move on to something else. You will save time and lower your frustration level (and blood pressure). 

Try this exercise. Take the Conway photo and invent something else from it (tabloid style). Example - "Conway shuns black leaders at White House gathering."
