Re: "Blacks do not watch news..."

She is absolutely correct. Most Americans do not watch the news, and Black Americans least of all.

News ratings have confirmed that fact for at least 60 years.

I will speculate that someone on her staff, or a network executive, suggested some kind of news platform that would specifically attract Black viewers.

The Black female news division president rejected the idea, for obvious business reasons, and politically Woke network executives forced her to resign.

I’ve been wondering about this. Is there a FR official max-size for images?

Here’s a handy size tag (close front bracket):

"After working at ABC, CBS, NBC and at 10 local news stations in nine cities, Godwin said she's quitting the business."

There was probably a reasion why she couldn't hold a j-o-b.

Ever hear the saying “The squeaky wheel gets the grease?”
They’ve been squeaking for 60 years, and as usual, the establishment over compensated.
Same with the trannies and queers on regular tv shows.
I see they’ve even got you using their made up term “p.o.c.”
I refuse.

Movie was prophetic and one of my five favorite movies of all time.

They make up 10% of the population in the U.S., but they are all I see on TV and in the news.

They're over-represented among the groups still watching television. Not to be harsh, but it begs the question, "What are you doing still watching television?"

6. Operation Mockingbird is alive and well.

The “news” is propaganda.

North Korea does it better.

"...overcompensated for a lack of diversity."

I agree. One needs to just glance at ABC News to confirm. Godwin had little to gain from this observation, unless it was true.

I can't speak to black's news viewership habits, but is anyone watching ? They/we are paying attention but not necessarily to broadcast appointment news, imho.

Do they have a bit of a race war inside ABC News ?

I haven’t seen anything official. But I want my posts to be seen and not ignored because of an oversized image that can barely be seen on a phone.

There’s nothing wrong with the size of the photo. It doesn’t extend beyond the with of the screen.

I didn’t say there was anything wrong with the pic; just simply giving you an easy HTML tag in case you run into one that you want to use and reduce. I don’t know anything about ‘size guidelines’ for pics, here.

Does this look okay? Had previously been using FR-recommended code copied from HTML SANDBOX 2021. Where to find this guidance in a pinch? Thx- OGINJ

the veteran newswoman told people in a meeting that Black people don’t watch the news

And there is proof, CBS Mornings (for Blacks) has about half of their stories aimed at Blacks, quite noticeable. Their ratings are in the tank. They make every attempt to cater to a Black audience, and there is no audience. Not a good business model.

...the veteran newswoman told people ...that Black people don’t watch the news, an astonishing claim that first came to light via two reports in Puck and CNN’s Reliable Sources newsletter...

Godwin made the controversial statement and also claimed that the network had overcompensated for a lack of diversity in its newsroom following the death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis cops and the Black Lives Matter protest movement that followed.

Godwin might have been telling the truth here - not something 'white liberal elties' want to here. It's like telling Biden he's NOT keeping blacks out of chains...

But, but, but... white liberal elite members of the press want to feel like they’re important to the poor downtrodden blacks. Kind of like Biden sayinag that without him blacks would be back in chains.

The only people the MSM really protects are fellow white liberal ‘elites’ - the rest is egomaniac delusion.
