I believe the media does this, no doubt, but these pix aren't different enough to look intentionally lightened to deceive about race. The difference between them looks like a simple and non-drastic Levels adjustment to increase the contrast a bit. The dark parts of the photos look darker in addition to the lighter parts looking lighter.
