MSNBC Hides the Diversity of the GOP

From the Daily Caller by blogger Jeff Poor:

Quote:
One of the left’s favorite attacks on the Republican Party is that it is the party of old white people, devoid of diversity and probably racist.

If you were watching MSNBC’s coverage of the Republican National Convention in Tampa on Tuesday night, you might believe those assertions, since missing from the coverage was nearly every ethnic minority that spoke during Tuesday’s festivities.

In lieu of airing speeches from former Democratic Rep. Artur Davis, a black American; Mia Love, a black candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives from Utah; and Texas senatorial hopeful Ted Cruz, a Latino American, MSNBC opted to show commentary anchored by Rachel Maddow from Rev. Al Sharpton, Ed Schultz, Chris Matthews, Chris Hayes and Steve Schmidt.

Throughout this convention, Matthews has accused the Republicans of playing dog-whistle racist politics while on scene in Tampa. It isn’t clear, however, if Matthews will hurl accusations of racism at Davis, Love or Cruz for speeches his network failed to broadcast.

Re: MSNBC Hides the Diversity of the GOP

Madcow ran a graphic last night showing that supposedly among blacks 94% were voting Obama and 0% were supporting Romney.

My wife, who dislikes politics and rarely pays attention saw it and said, "really? No black peopel at all support Romney? They expect people to believe that?"

Then it became our running joke to point oput the multiple black folks int he audience last night and say I guess they aren't really there since 0% support Romney according to MSNBC.
