On "The View" Thursday, White House correspondent April Ryan advised young journalists to not make themselves the focus of their reporting. "Please understand it’s not about you. It’s about the story," she told the audience.
However, in Ryan's new book, she seemed to relish making herself part of the story.
In her book, "Black Women Will Save the World: An Anthem," Ryan touted how her fight to preserve "democracy" and "the vote" from Donald Trump and his allies, "made her a target."
At one point, she even embraced her role as an activist.
"Our activism is rooted in serving the underserved, the forgotten, the marginalized. I used to push against the description of my work as ‘activism’ because that adjective was lobbied to delegitimize my work. But in time, I have come to accept and embrace the description," Ryan wrote. She quotes The New York Times' 1619 Project's Nikole Hannah-Jones saying "all journalism is activism."
"For Black journalists, especially Black women, her words are gospel," Ryan wrote. "Hannah-Jones is right — all journalism is activism and what matters most is the cause for which you are an activist. Ultimately, for whom do you fight?" she asked.
The White House reporter frequently attracted headlines during the Trump years for her hostile interactions in the press briefing room.
In her book, she recalled these events as "devastating" and "traumatic" "microaggressions" she faced "as one of the few Black female reporters doing the People’s Work."
President Trump was a heavy presence in Ryan's book, making an appearance at least 59 times in the roughly 150-page book.
A staunch critic of the former president, Ryan lobbed both personal and political attacks against him.
She directly blamed Trump for "driving her to drink" after she received one of the inoperable pipe bombs...

Nothing like making yourself a LARGE part of the story. I’ll look for this tome on the bottom shelf at Dollar Tree in about 10 weeks.
Weak minded fool. On this current slope, black women like her will destroy this country. The evidence is overwhelming.
And clueless
So do liberals. Rule #1 in their handbook; It's always someone else's fault.
The adjective was lobbied?

She seems rather well-fed by the evil capitalist system. Maybe she should find “liberation” in Cuba and eat nothing but beans and rice.
