As journalists have come under attack for accepting and forwarding Chinese propaganda about the coronavirus they unleashed from Wuhan, the National Association of Black Journalists was forced on Tuesday to cancel a panel discussion with CNN host Van Jones and former CNN analyst Roland Martin on the "rise of misinformation" on the virus when it became controversial due to its financial backer -- Huawei, a telecom giant connected to the Chinese communist government that's been indicted for racketerring and conspiracy to steal trade secrets.

In a statement, the NABJ explained/complained: "It had come under attack because controversial technology giant Huawei was planning to sponsor the webinar though it had no editorial control. NABJ always retains editorial control over all such content along with final say over moderators and panelists. Huawei knew all of this in advance."

Brad Slager at Redstate reported the Huawei press release sounded like the usual leftist boilerplate:

Uh, van AIN'T playing. As far as the subject matter. Really? I heard a couple weeks ago that somebody on the PDJT team had met with the CONgressional Black caucus to discuss the racial disparity in regards to the CV-19 activity. SRSLY? Guess whitey developed a virus that would attack more minorities than non-minorities? SMDH! Hey X-spurts. Phu cough.

That headline is one of the funniest things I have read in a long time. “Van Jones Plays Dumb” is awesome. “Corona-Racism Panel” is dense with humor. “Chinese Sponsor” is just icing on the cake. HONK!! HONK!! The amazing thing is that it got cancelled.

Had Van Jones ever called out China for their racism?

If he’s pretending, then it’s damned convincing and with remarkable consistency. No, he’s not playing at all. Meanwhile, “Corona-Racism Panel” ... what the hell was that thing going to be, and why were the Chicoms going to sponsor such a gathering?

Anyone notice that just a few years ago Van Jones was nothing more than a street agitator and now he's got this cushy gig on CNN.

Community organizing is a lie. All it is, is just a means for people who can't cut it in the real world to get attention and to get paid in a government or media position, all the while screwing over the very people that you're claiming to help.

The ChiComs will do anything to divide this nation and destroy it, that includes engendering ‘’racism’’. If blacks want to see real racism they should look at how the Chinese view them. Chinese consider Africans to be veritable animals. No one ever calls them out on it.

“Though it has no control”

Since when has the CCP ever let anti corruption rules stop them from manipulating people.

I’m betting the National Association of Black Journalists has been in bed with the Chinese for a long time. It’s a ‘democrat’ thing....
