Mainstream Media’s Past And Present Biases

Through various bias initiatives that take advantage of tokenism, appeasements, clandestine bullying, a national-approved monopoly strategy, intra-cultural pitting maneuvers, and lucrative news anchor contracts to sway intellectual voices of natural resistance, the U.S. mainstream media have managed to make a mockery of the broader African American culture and the centuries-old oppression that have afflicted the black race.

By the same token, historically, the mainstream media have fired Black news anchors that focus too much on uncomfortable narratives and talking points that fends against vices that are hostile toward Black people, or when Black news anchors confront outright lies that trivializes the historical and ongoing oppression of African Americans in America (case in point: the infamous contentious exchange between Don Lemon and political candidate Vivek Ramaswamy), and the mainstream media either won’t and/or is reluctant to maintain any heterosexual Black men in prime time broadcasting roles, essentially emasculating Black men and ultimately suppressing the concept of the traditional Black family with Black men serving as strong providers and protectors of their families, which hearkens back in my opinion, to a slave management mentality from centuries-old past.

All things considered, America’s white-owned mainstream media has unjustly held the keys to African Americans’ likeness, and it projects that representation onto countries around the world. The end result has been devastating for African Americans over extraordinarily long periods of time.
