Not one Fox News black journo makes the
Henry Gates Jr.-founded (recall Henry and the Obama Rose Garden Beer Summit), Washington Post-owned The Root list of influential African Americans.
CNN's
Soledad O'Brien #5,
Don Lemon #6,
Suzanne Malveaux #18,
Roland Martin #27,
T.J. Holmes #42, MSNBC's
Tamron Hall #14,
Rachel Maddow producer Jamil Smith #60, NPR's
Audie Cornish #75, AP Supreme Court reporter
Jesse J. Holland #80, NYT WH reporter
Helene Cooper #81.
And the Obama comrade Joe Biden professes to not know:
The Root 100
(H/t Wayne J. Svantner,
Johnny Dollar)
J$P: Ten cablers from MSNBCNN make Root 100; not on list: Juan Williams, Harris Faulkner, Lauren Green, Wendell Goler, Kelly Wright, anyone on FNC.
ReplyDeleteI hope that they consider it an honor NOT to make the list.
ReplyDeleteIt's a participantion award. You know everyone get's one for participating. It's condescending, and it fit's the pattern of treating people of color as <span>Infinatiles.</span>
ReplyDeleteThe Fox folks should wear it as a badge of honor they didn't make the "pet" list.
Could someone please come up with a list to validate me? Otherwise, my self-esteem may wither and I'll crawl off in a corner and suck my thumb.
ReplyDeleteI'll bet Clarence Thomas would not make Skippy Gates list of top African American Supreme Court Justices nor would Herman Cain the list of top African American pizza CEO's.
ReplyDeleteNo, Clarence and Cain were not fingered by The Root.
