Here's the AP's write-up of the Vikings-Lions game by Larry Lage:

The article focuses on and praises Case Keenum. Notice that Adam Thielen isn't mentioned until near the end, and then only to praise Keenum. This is the sum total of Thielen's presence in the article:
Minnesota's Adam Thielen had eight receptions for 89 yards and deflected credit to his quarterback. "Case Keenum is one tough human being," he said. "When he's hanging in there — giving you time to get open — you feel like you're letting him down if you can't do it. He's willing to get crushed to make a play, and that makes us want to come though on our end."
No mention of Thielen going over 1,000 receiving yards, or being the first Vikings receiver to do so in eight years, or that he did it in just ten games. So what's the agenda at play? Praising a White quarterback when it's obvious it needs to be done, but downplaying White accomplishment at a verboten position like wide receiver. Keenum's success is in great part due to Thielen's success, but a casual reader would never know that from reading this article.
There's nothing that sticks out about the article; it's a very common example of subtle bias by omission rather than engaging in open propaganda or blatant caste-speak. And of course AP is a monopoly "news" service and its articles play a large role in shaping the attitudes of DWF Nation.[/QUOTE
Oddly enough he gets a ton of praise over on r/Vikings. Whereas there's still some people saying Shtinkwater would be better than Keenum in this offense lol.
