Why are Biden's remarks news?

I don't see what was wrong about what he said. Jackson, Mosely-Braun, and Sharpton were certainly not mainstream candidates and if anybody claims they were, they are deluded. So, in order to be sure and be on the Obama bandwagon, Reuters elects to paint Biden's remarks as racist.

I think that the news media is going to think that if the race for the Democratic nomination is not a horse race between Hillary and Obama that it won't be interesting. Whyowhyo can't the race turn on issues? What is it about asking Americans to think that terrifies the media?

Oh. Wait. I know. The "media" is owned by people with a lot of money. And if the American people ever stop and think for a couple of minutes about the money, they'll realize that they don't have any. And that they're never going to get any. Ah. I see.
