Are Black Men being persecuted by the Media?

In today's climate of being politically correct, the gender wars, and the women's movement, many people are feeling pressured to choose sides. Yet the issues and events that we are all currently having to deal with and that are playing out in the media are more complex than we want to admit. But there seems to be a consistent narrative being pushed by the media which is that Black Men while making up a small percent of the American population, seems to be the face of many of the issues. My question is, are Black Men being purposely persecuted by the Media?
