CNN's Suzanne Maveaux


Suzanne Malveaux..Rocking Journalism. There is a marked difference in professionalism and non-biased reporting between Suzanne Malveaux and other news journalist on cable television. If we look at CNN's "Black in America"-what made this show look shamefully racist, biased and like white supremacy propaganda was often the personal thinking and views that came off of Soledad O'Brien and the editing style of a majority non-black production staff. One can watch her special and see that she feels that black men are sub-human and that "props" should be given when someone black decides on a white neighborhood or spouse. Soledad O'Brien really does feel that way and you can pick up on it through her biased and bad reporting. That's the mark of a bad journalist. * * Heidi Collins on CNN in the morning also holds some very disturbing views regarding blacks. Heidi Collins has made very offensive stereotypes about black Americans and she gets away with it. I mean the lady had like 4 makeovers and she still looks worse than Fox New's Greta Van Susteren! A black woman could NEVER get on t.v. looking as bad as Collins. * * This subtle racism always appears to be aimed at blacks or black men and not really other groups considering all of the blacks at CNN loosing assignments and jobs to Hispanics, white women and East Indians on both their news channels. There isn't one black person heading up a new CNN "talking head-run your mouth" about hot, current issues shows. CNN does have the best black or mixed-black journalist, but they appear to be under-exposed and not marketed like a Sanjay Gupta, Rick Sanchez , Fared Zakaria or that CNN's Headline News doesn't have one central black male figure! * * CNN will find an entire case of black women from Essence and whoever else, they can pull from the black literary crack world of -black male bashing, but this just looks like more racism. People are tired of seeing these judgemental, crack head Michelle Obama clones! It isn't anything new to take cheap shots at black men or the black community in the U.S. via Michelle Obama clones! It is redundant and even Fox news doesnt do it. Why can't you find a pro-positive black person, who is articulate and gives a more mainstream black thinking, when called for, and not just these black tokens who promote stereotypes and pop trends. * * Anyway, Suzanne Malveaux, has to be the most balanced reporter in current cable reporting. She reports the facts, never has drama, keeps a poker face (which is what reporters should do) while delivering a story. I have no idea of this woman is right or left, gay or straight, racist or non-racist, self-hating or not or wears a B-cup-but she can deliver a dam good report! Of course if she was white or East Indian-she would have her own show by now and a pay increase.
