Why Joe Scarborough and Pat Buchanan?
It is nice of you to continue to add to your biased coverage of Barack Obama and a respected member of the African American clergy in the Chicago area. Joe Scarborough, the person who supported an IRS investigation into the NAACP, Joe Watkins, a Black conservative who is hardly representative of African Americans, Pat Buchanan, the racist who told a Black woman to "shut up" and never apologized were three members of a supposedly balanced panel. Two bigots and a Black Republican who are most partial in their view in the Democratic Party and whose party will gain from the downfall of Obama and the elevation of Hillary Clinton. You also found a Reverend who absolutely does not seem to represent Black America. He is another stool pidgeon to represent the White view you want to present.
The only person who came close to presenting an unbiased view was Sally Quinn. All I heard from Republicans Buchanan, Watkins, and Scarborough was how devastating this was to Barack Obama's campaign. Sounds like a Republican campaign advertisement to me and it sounds like if you say something enough times the people will believe it. I don't want to leave out Jonathan Capehart another example of a Black person who is not in touch with the African American community--I don't think the average African American is an avid reader of the Washington Post.
I and many others have been disappointed in the coverage of Barack Obama and his campaign. The fact that your panel consists of two of the biggest bigots and racists proves the point. This is why my viewing of MSNBC has been reduced to watching Keith Olbermann and little else on your channel. Your news has become one sided and extremely biased. The powerful elitists who control our media have given us some of the weakest anchors, panels, contributors and news personalities ever.
Too bad you chose to place all White people in the same biased, bigoted group with the likes of Joe Scarborough and Pat Buchanan. Your choices prove the racial issues in this country will continue for a long time because White America still does not understand how Black America thinks and why they think that way. When are White people going to be called out like Obama has? When is White America going to answer for their role in race relations? When are Hillary Clinton and John McCain going to be called out like Obama? That's what I thought...
The disappointment is profound.
Sincerely,
Mary Johnson
