President Obama’s official presidential portrait has recently been unveiled. Although Obama expressed his satisfaction at the final result the event was not without controversy. It turns out that Obama’s hand picked artist, Kehinde Wiley, has a well documented history of anti white hostility as seen in his other art pieces. How the media responded to this, or attempted to cover it up, explains a lot as to why trust in mainstream news sources is so low.
