My problem with CNN’s presentation is they did nothing different, all I had to do was turn on the local news to hear the same themes in their presentation, instead I paid for this ish. <BR/><BR/>@Shanshilly <BR/><BR/>“I think CNN put so much focus on what is wrong in Black America today and played the high points of Afican American life really light. CNN only perpetuated the sterotypes.”<BR/> <BR/><BR/>I completely agree with you.
