I find that claim to be mostly baseless. The media will look for the
most sensational story, except for certain cases against certain neocons.

A problem of democracy, unfortunately. The judicial system is supposed
to prevent the majority from removing the rights of the minority, but of
course, the majority does not like this.

Too bad most people hate the judicial system and the fact that they
interpret laws properly in ways that don't allow the majority to remove
the rights of the minority. Although it looks like the government is
going to try to change that, too.
