The white-dominated MSM thinks any black man who can read is a national hero.
Since most of the people in the media don’t hang out with military folks, they don’t know that there are lots of black people who read great, and do a lot more besides.
Nothing against accomplished black people in other areas of life. I’m speaking from personal experience here.
Just ask Joe Biden: "I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy."
The MSM is not really white dominated anymore...certainly not white male dominated.
plenty of the talking heads are but the newsrooms are not
they reflect minority hires as well as any college faculty
