In a press release issued this morning, the NAACP condemned 24-hour cable news channel CNN for its recently announced prime time news lineup, calling the lack of diversity in its collection of news anchors a “glaring omission.” “The NAACP is deeply concerned with the lack of African American journalists in prime time news, both on cable and national news shows,” NAACP President and CEO Benjamin Todd Jealous said in the statement. “We have come to expect this from the likes of Fox News, but not other networks. While we understand that news is now a 24-hour cycle, most Americans get their news from the morning and evening prime time broadcasts.” The new CNN news lineup, which was announced yesterday, features John King, Anderson Cooper, Erin Burnett and Piers Morgan. CNN did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The NAACP’s Hollywood Bureau also announced its plans to meet with cable news presidents to address the issue. Hollywood Bureau Executive Director Vic Bulluk was not immediately available for comment.

NAACP—much like the buggy whip, your time has come and gone.
Whites can join the NAACP. Always have....................
If naacp “expects this from FOX” then what are prime time reporters and commentators Wendell Gohler and Juan Williams?
Uncle Toms................
The networks had an articulate black man who would have made a great news reader but they chose to make him President instead.
Darn...made a good comeback. :0)
On the one hand, who gives a hoot? On the other hand, there are plenty of intelligent and articulate black people who could be newsreaders. It’s a liberal-dominated, quoting-loving industry, so why aren’t they hiring blacks?
She used to be on Fox 4 here in Kansas City!
Beauty and Brains Indeed!
Bring in the 2011 grads from the Atlanta PS system. Make them the news readers. That would be just tooooooooo f’in funny.
“If naacp “expects this from FOX” then what are prime time reporters and commentators Wendell Gohler and Juan Williams?”
Well, at best they are traitors.
LOL, Juan was too uppity for CNN.
Well, I’d like to blast professional sports for their lack of white guys.
Was going through an indian reservation the other day and went past the high school.
Apparently the indians had chosen an Indian as their mascot.
Go figure...
AR blasts NAACP for lack of diversity in its management.
Did you ever notice that the “equal opportunity” or “diversity” offices are usually the least diverse in the entire organization? You’ll have a good mix of blacks, whites, men, women, Hispanics, Asians, etc., in the organization, but the “diversity” office won’t have one white male.
That is hysterical considering FoxNews has many more blacks on air regularly than anywhere else. Do these people ven check to see if they tell the truth or do they lie on purpose?
