Ta-Nehisi Coates on the power of stories, new book, "The Message"
Acclaimed author Ta-Nehisi Coates joins "CBS Mornings" to talk about his new book, "The Message," and about the banning of his work in South Carolina.
Hasnain says:
This is one of the most disgraceful interviews I’ve seen recently, and I’ve seen a lot of them. I am still incredulous at the display of racism here. I know people harp on and on about media being biased (from both sides!) but it’s been interesting seeing how media is portrayed in the states. Growing up, we treated media as biased always, and we tried to correct for it. But in the US people tend to ignore that for some reason. It’s often hidden (or agrees with our biases so we ignore it). But.. it’s there. And we should call it out for what it is.
TNC has the patience of a saint.
Quoting someone on Twitter:
“Among the many reasons that this segment will likely live in infamy as a clear example of open Islamophobic racism and journalistic malpractice from @CBSNews:
The producers flanked two Black journalists to provide a cover to a white journalist who is making an open, racist case for apartheid, and who suggests that human rights do not exist for Palestinians. A combination of racism and ignorance that suggests a deeply failed moral center for that show and that news operation.”
