"News analysts, reporters and correspondents—1.8%"

Unexpected racism.

"News analysts, reporters and correspondents—1.8%"

That surprises me. I guess many of the faces I remember are sports reporters.

Here in Baltimore-Washington there are at least 33% newscasters or more -- same is true with most major Southeastern cities -- but perhaps the survey is making a distinction between talking heads and investigative reporters.

Unexpected racism.”

Want to see the MSM alter its position on affirmative action? Just require them to preferentially hire until the percentages of minorities is equivalent to the general population. Tell the next Katie Couric that she can't have the job because she doesn't fit the required profile.

Also, reverse racism? I’ve never seen a broadcast news team without one in four being black. 2% of the job pool are black, yet 25%+ of those getting the plum jobs are black? Apparently, you can’t be black and a journalist and end up not in front of the camera.

(No wonder MSNBC can’t find any black journalists to put on the air.)
