The ‘testy’ Ryan video was about urban policy not media bias

Video ricocheted around the Web Monday of Republican vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan "getting testy" with a Flint, Michigan, ABC reporter who asked him about urban gun violence. Ryan was presented by the Huffington Post as acting inappropriately in the interview out of disdain for the "liberal media." That's not exactly what was happening. There is a lot more to it worth considering.
