Race Issues

In the aftermath of the death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police, CNN's John Harwood reported on Monday's CNN Newsroom that the White House was considering holding a listening session with black leaders. Harwood also cast doubt on the effectiveness of such a session, because not only does President Trump have a credibility problem on the issue, but the entire…

On Monday, CBS This Morning lined up so-called “experts” on race relations to accuse “white Americans” of being “taught” to have “contempt for black life” and that racism was like “dust in the air,” something “ingrained in our society.” The nasty blanket statements were treated as objective fact rather than radical declarations.

The networks went out of their way to protect violent left wing mobs like Antifa rioting and looting this past weekend, by insisting they were the outlier in demonstrations that happened across the country, protesting the death of George Floyd. While showcasing…

On Sunday's MediaBuzz on Fox News Channel, talk show host Richard Butler came on to discuss how the black man is not safe in America. But then he said something ridiculous: "99.9% of these protests have been peaceful." This came on the same day as everyone else discussed the troubling spread of looting and rioting to cities across America.

Over the weekend on MSNBC's Velshi show, as anchor Ali Velshi covered the riots and protests that have spread across the U.S., he not only allowed Democratic Congressman Hank Johnson to misinform viewers by overstating how many black suspects are killed by police officers each year compared to other racial groups, but he also flirted with rationalizing the violence of rioters by…

The liberal media appear to have adopted Rahm Emanuel’s saying “never let a good crisis go to waste” as their official slogan; especially when a crisis gives them an opportunity to trash President Trump. On-air personalities on both MSNBC and CNN have used Trump’s tweet announcing his plan of action to handle the unrest and riots in Minneapolis, namely “when the looting starts, the shooting…

Late Saturday afternoon, during live coverage of the protests and riots in reaction to the police-involved death of Minneapolis resident George Floyd, CNN host John Berman and analyst David Gergen fretted over Attorney General Bill Barr calling for "law and order" in a statement addressing the violence. Gergen called the choice of words a "dog whistle" and declared it to be "nuts" that it was…

On Saturday morning, MSNBC weekend anchor Kendis Gibson had difficulty seeing a difference between peaceful anti-lockdown protesters in Michigan and violent protesters in Minnesota who are looting and committing arson -- other than a racial difference -- as he fretted over President Donald Trump condemning one, but not the other.

The brief arrest of a CNN news crew covering the mayhem in Minneapolis prompted New York Times media reporter James Poniewozik to melodramatically take on President Trump for his action against Twitter, in “A Live Look At Censorship, No Tweets Involved” in Saturday’s New York Times. The paper also reacted with alarm Thursday when conservatives criticized Twitter for its…

The New York Times lead National “news” story on Friday was a full-page opinionated attack on conservatives by NewsBusters regular Jeremy Peters, who once again used the coronavirus pandemic as a cudgel: “‘The Crisis of 2020,’ Predicted in 1991: What’s Next?” Peters first marveled at how the 1991 book “Generations” by William Strauss and Neil Howe, “which introduced a provocative theory that…

On Friday's CNN Newsroom, host Brianna Keilar allowed race-obsessed Georgetown University professor and former MSNBC contributor Michael Eric Dyson to spout misinformation as he grasped for evidence to claim there has been a double standard in the treatment of the cop implicated in the death of black victim George Floyd in contrast with cops who have killed whites. Reacting to news that, four…
