The Washington Post published a story that Gov. Rick Perry owns a piece of land that bears the name "Niggerhead."

The story appears "solid," so claims Media's Tommy Christopher, but look at the tail of end of the piece:

In the photos, it was to the left of the gate. It was laid down flat. The exposed face was brushed clean of dirt. White paint, dried drippings visible, covered a word across the surface. An N and two G’s were faintly visible.

But the Post has only published three photos regarding the story; none of which bear the offending words "Niggerhead."

Isn't that odd? The Post spent time, money, and energy on this story, yet doesn't publish the photograph(s) which would seal the moral indictment of Perry's casual racism. 

This is kind of story that will have  people clucking, but I see it as another example of how the Post has a tendency to publish anonymously sourced material and the reader is suppose to trust the integrity of the reporter.

So, where is a photo of the offending rock?

As I said above, the Post put a lot of time and in energy into this story because it has a "gotcha" race angle. But I placed Todd Willingham's name in its archive and the Post has done  no real reporting or follow-up reporting  to that controversial case in which Willingham was convicted of murdering his three children by torching his home. It has not looked into the lack 0f scientific evidence or how the Perry administration sought to bury its malfeasance. 

The documentary film "Incendiary" does a better job of showing the real Rick Perry than the metaphorical rock of Niggerhead.

If you watch the film, you'll see how politics, a casual disregard for facts and truth, corrosive anti-intellectualism, and manipulative emotionalism conspired to send a man to death, and keep the public's eye off the machinery of death.
