MSNBC Touts Five Female Daytime Anchors, Gets Immediately Called Out For No Women of Color
Mediaite ^ | 6/07/19 | Morgan Phillips

MSNBC proudly shared a Los Angeles Times article on Twitter boasting its female-dominated daytime programming, along with a photo of its five female daytime anchors. It was not lost on the public that all the women in the image were white.

The LA Times article was entitled “The Women Warriors of NBC” and detailed how five women– Stephanie Ruhle, Hallie Jackson, Andrea Mitchell, Katy Tur, and Nicolle Wallace— came to dominate its daytime programming. The article points out that this directive comes in light of criticism of the network for its “sluggish” investigation of sexual harassment claims at NBC.

MSNBC captioned the tweet, “The five female anchors who now shape most of the daytime news programming at MSNBC.”

Almost all of the tweet’s nearly 2,000 replies pointed out its lack of diversity. Soledad O’Brien, who previously worked for MSNBC and now hosts a weekly talk show produced by Hearst television, quoted the tweet and added, “Zero women of color in this picture.”

VERY WRONG!!

MANY THOUSANDS CARE..that there are no women of color :)

Talk about backfiring!!

And if you add a black person, asians will be mad, and if you add an asian, maybe indigenous people (whatever the ### that is) will be mad.

that’s the GREAT thing about attempting diversity.

You can never diversify enough to please everyone :)

MSNBC: "Hey! Hey, we found one! Now we have a woman of color!! We're cool again!"

SJW: "But is she a lesbian?"

MSNBC: [cries softly]

So now they’re “warriors”, not news readers? Makes you wonder who the war is against, doesn’t it? Well, no, I guess it doesn’t.

As I’ve always said, the media is the first to point out when other organizations don’t have enough (by their standards) minorities and they’ll do so with an all lily-white panel wringing their hands in feigned concern.

This is getting ridiculous. What do they expect? One black, one Hispanic, one Asian, one hijab wearing Muslim, one lesbian of mixed race.

Lol political correctness above all. They’ll need a panel of dozens to equally represent and to not offend those they have proclaimed should be offended.

Sad but hilarious it happened to them.

OMG, there are no transgenders? I’m sure Nicole Wallace wouldn’t mind giving up her show so a transgender can be properly represented

I see there are no one armed Serbo-Croatian lesbian transgender vegan Wiccan trapeze artists of color in the MSNBC lineup.

Outrageous!
