I know you've moved on, and these aren't stories, but they're patterns I see in the mass media that I think fit: business men kindly explaining to women how to get promotions and pay rises (it's usually all the woman's fault for not being "assertive" enough, of course); Labor party politicians and union leaders with their university degrees in law etc "saving" the working class and/or people without access to higher education; and huge swathes of charity work, which seem more about making the people donating/volunteering feel grateful they're not homeless or poor or disabled or whatever.

Also, definitely story: the scene I found most offensive in Glee: Wheels is Finn's "This one's for you, Artie!" and reaction shot from Artie because Artie isn't able to talk about being a wheelchair user himself, apparently.
