Well it seems Rev. Jesse Jackson is upset at CNN as well as Fox News and MSNBC as well as NBC and CBS and ABC for not having African Americans on TV nighttime or prime time news as anchors. And if you at the point he trying to make, you have to agree.

CNN’s Soledad O’Brien is upset at Rev. Jackson for making this point. But what Ms. O’Brien has to realize is that what Rev. Jackson as well as Rev. Sharpton is talking about is one thing. There is zero African Americans on prime time news on national TV news in America. None. Soladad is a anchor on the morning news on CNN.

And what O’Brien is upset about with Rev. Jackson is Rev. Jackson saying O’Brien is “light skinned” and that their needs to be more “darker” skinned African Americans on primetime news as anchors.

What Rev. Jackson and others are saying is it seems guys like Don Lemon and T.J. Holmes are “light-skinned” brothas on CNN. Unlike Tony Harris. But Harris is on in the early afternoon. Holmes is on mainly on the weekends as is Lemon.

Rev. Jackson and Rev. Sharpton and others are saying where are the African American night time anchors? There is Anderson Cooper, Sean Hannity, Greta, O’Reilly, John King, Chris Matthews, and on and on. CNN just started a new program at night with zero African Americans. The fella who is taking Larry King’s place in January is not African American. The question is why is this going on.

I do not agree with Rev. Jackson and Rev. Jackson on every thing. But I agree with both of them on this point. There needs to be one or more African Americans on prime time night time news on cable TV. Remember their is none right now. This is not fair and not right.     Gordon Curvey
