Cancelled the cable because of all the trash programs and every increasing costs. Replaced it with an antenna that receives 165 different channels. Still trash programs, just different ones. We have ended up generally watching one of two channels - ION when Blue Bloods or Law and Order are on all day or the Justice channel.
Seems like most of the other programs have either Black or gay characters and themes. Diversity on our local news channels is a joke. One channel has an Asian female, Hispanic male and Black male. One channel has added a plus sized Hispanic female. Skill levels of most are pathetic. We try and tune in just long enough to see the weather forecast - even though it is generally wrong - and then turn it off. White men need not apply for anything anymore. Qualified gets you squat.
In my experience troublesome black employees (as well as other blacks) have been replaced by Hispanics at an alarming rate. The few remaining black employees toe the line and keep a low profile; they know they’ve lost their “special” status.
The advertising is pathetic, and it forces me to point out the obvious to my children. We live between Newark and Jersey City, NJ, so as they age I don’t have to say anything anymore. I always proudly point out that most things around them (building, highways, cars, etc.) were invented/built by white men.
I have the same reaction to news, though unfortunately our area is starting to resemble the demographics of the news staff (as Americans evacuate northeastern NJ). Now those those aging tokens are a little closer to representing their viewing population.
Just picking names out of a phone book might be an improvement, to borrow an analogy of William F Buckley.
I believe Diversity is an old, old wooden ship.
So how many conservatives are they going to hire to repair their liberal bias?
that is exactly the final nail in the coffin for that rag.
By hiring more minorities, he mean hire more radical leftists.
"Screw literacy and journalistic professionalism! ...
It's not as if they had much of that before.
This is thier death march, oh they’re dead already they just dont know it
