Race Issues

As the ideological crusade for “diversity equity and inclusion” makes its way through American corporations, it is most dramatically obvious in media companies. At City Journal, Christopher Rufo reported on Reuters and its former chief data scientist Isaac (or Zac) Kriegman under the headline “The Price of Dissent.”

Don't look now, but National Public Radio is having a bit of a "diversity" crisis -- as in racial diversity. NPR has never had a diversity of viewpoints. Washington Post media reporters Paul Farhi and Elahe Isadi pointed out that there's an internal furor over departing NPR stars Noel King, Lourdes Garcia-Navarro, and now evening host Audie Cornish. 

ABC’s racist comedy Black-ish fangirled so hard over former First Lady Michelle Obama during her cameo appearance on Tuesday’s episode, “That’s What Friends Are For,” you’d think she was Jesus. Or, should I say “black Jesus,” since that’s how the show referred to him twice during the same episode. Because everything must be racial, of course.

During CNN's breaking news coverage of Attorney General Merrick Garland's news conference on the Justice Department's January 6 investigation, chief legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin scoffed at Garland's desire to prosecute political violence no matter what political party is involved. 

As 2021 comes to a close, let's look back on another terrible year of liberal propaganda in entertainment television. From Black Lives Matter to blasphemy, Hollywood proved once again how far out of touch they are with regular Americans.

In the ultimate of ironies of all ironies, MSNBC’s Nicole Wallace and two of her guests spent an entire segment Thursday afternoon accusing Republicans of politicizing school boards across the nation. 

Continuing what’s become a staple of our year-end packages, NewsBusters used our Google Analytics to compile our ten most-read stories from 2021, which saw four writers from our News Analysis Division seeing stories crack the top ten along with one from MRC Culture and two from MRC’s Free Speech America.

Chris Hayes has a long history of making absurd and hateful claims on his nightly MSNBC show, but it appears there is no comment or bizarre conspiracy theory that’s too low for him. On Wednesday night’s edition of “All In”, Hayes spent an entire segment dismissing America’s rising crime rates, and questioned the motives of any network that dared to cover it.

As we wrap up 2021, it's time for a little cultural talk on the NewsBusters Podcast. NPR recently suggested the Beatles signified how the rock band was a white-male institution. They also recently brought on Nikole Hannah-Jones to explain that "yacht rock" like Steely Dan, Toto, and the Doobie Brothers is culturally appropriated black music.

On Tuesday night it was announced that former Democratic Senate Leader Harry Reid passed away at age eighty-two. Although even the passing of one of their beloved party leaders didn’t stop CNN and MSNBC from ghoulishly exploiting his death to push for repealing the Senate filibuster.

During a special episode of Meet the Press on Sunday titled “Schools, America, and Race”, 1619 Project author Nikole Hannah-Jones said, “I don't really understand this idea that parents should decide what's being taught.”

On Fox & Friends, Brian Kilmeade says of Kamala Harris: "To me, this is a lack of performance. This is a lack of interest. This is laziness. And this is a complaint-a-holic who just wants to be anointed president, and she's angry that she's not."

Beatles fans of all ages can flock to Disney Plus for a new documentary called “Get Back” that reassembles footage of John, Paul, George, and Ringo creating music as the band begins to dissolve. NPR used the occasion for guilt-trip clickbait: “How did we get stuck with the idea that four white guys make a rock band?”
