New York Times reporter Wesley Lowery says America’s newsrooms need racial justice. Black journalists have complained for years about the indifference and outright hostility toward Black reporters — their pay and their ideas for how news should be covered in Black neighborhoods and beyond. Does this two-time Pulitzer Prize winner, and 60 Minutes contributor, have a point? In the wake of George Floyd’s death, will editors and publishers finally hear the voice of the oppressed rising up in their own organizations?

Bill Whittle Network ยท White News: Black Journalist Calls Out America's Racist Newsrooms, Editors' Phony Objectivity

When personal honor and integrity are cast aside to promote an agenda, no matter how noble that agenda may or may not be, is simply wrong. If a cause cannot stand on it’s own merits and truth, then perhaps it should not stand at all.
Thanks Bill – I appreciate the insight and am rethinking my previously posted response.

I once read that Lyndon Johnson said, of the Civil Rights Act, “If I can get this passed, I’ll have those niggers voting Democrat for 100 years.”
I can’t verify that’s true but, if it’s not, I’m willing to accept it as “fake but accurate.”
Honesty and Honor does not depend upon one’s color. It depends upon your character. White, black, green, blue, red, yellow etc. has absolutely NOTHING to do with it. Favoring one color over the other ignores that fact and only makes things worse. We have had approximately 50 years of ignoring character and favoring color after which we are in a worse mess than we were in at the start. The MSM cannot be trusted to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
MSM and Objectivity has been largely missing since I was in High School in 1952. I had become interested in what was “going on” at the time. I started reading the leading news magazine of the time. To my dismay, I found a statement of pure opinion (sans fact) in a so called News article. Since then the ratio of opinion vs fact has gone through the roof for ALL MSM presentations of what they call “The News”.
Journalism no longer exists. It is presentation of opinion as “News” 24/7/365 with very sparse factual content (usually siliceous gossip) hidden in a flood of empty words.
The fact that New York Times reporter Wesley Lowery works for a DNC enclave rings hollow. He could never get a job working there if he had your politics, Bill. Anyone with a “D” by their name belongs to a racist party of evil because of their necromongering love of abortion. The cornerstone of the DNC platform is the racist “right” to “safe, legal and (supposedly) rare” abortions. When people are that delusional and babies lives don’t matter, then neither do theirs.
