Discussion about Rep. Paul Ryan is rampant today on both mainstream and ethnic sites. Other common topics include the selection of the presidential debate moderators, Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr., Gabby Douglas and Chad Jones, but there are distinctions in coverage and emphasis. The ethnic sites tend to consider Ryan’s selection as Mitt Romney’s vice president in the context of his record on issues regarding people of color; the mainstream sites focus on political strategy, the Wisconsin congressman’s record overall and his wealth.
