Biden says media exposure will eventually reduce Bloomberg’s support among black voters - nypost.com

...Former Vice President Joe Biden said the news media will eventually expose Michael Bloomberg's controversial policy views and that will lead to diminished support for the former New York mayor among black voters.

..."There's a lot to talk about with Michael Bloomberg," Biden said on NBC's "Meet the Press" in an interview that aired Sunday.

...Biden's comments come after he finished fourth in the Iowa caucuses and fifth in the New Hampshire primary and as Bloomberg's support among African-Americans has risen to 22 percent, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released last week.

...Biden, who leads all Democratic hopefuls with 27 percent support among African-Americans, also criticized Bloomberg for running campaign ads that highlight his relationship with Obama - even though the billionaire didn't endorse him in 2008.

...Bloomberg has apologized for using stop and frisk during his time as New York mayor and has clarified his previous remarks about redlining - a housing practice that denied mortgages and other financial services to minorities in designated low-income communities.
