Zero pretense of any journalistic standards.
NBC “News” made George W. Bush’s totally unqualified daughter a high-profile journalist; CNN “News” hires Valerie Jarrett’s daughter as its top “Justice” reporter, etc., etc. The U. S. mainstream media — both print and electronic — has evolved into a joke that stresses propaganda and ignores news. I’m a lifelong liberal regarding social issues but celebrity-crazed and diversity-crazed decisions that severely discriminate against other more qualified individuals is NOT THE ANSWER to correct past discrimination against minorities. It is also not fair to benefactors such as Laura Jarrett because when many see her on CNN now they assume she got the job because of her mother and her color, not because she earned it. More qualified journalists than Ms. Jarrett, the Bush daughter, etc., are discriminated against, and if left-wingers don’t admit that, they are setting the stages for push-backs — maybe a little Revolution or a tiny Civil War.
