There is NO doubt, after watching Harris today whine about how Officer Wilson must be tried for murder, that he is no journalist. Journalist’s are objective when reporting and Harris is the antithesis of objectivity. Very disappointing that Aljazeera keeps him on the air……..

What is important is we have caring and responsible journalists present in influential positions in newsrooms around world where stories are shaped and originated about African Americans to insure their authenticity. This is a most worthy endeavor. http://www.sslumpsum.com

Frankly, I’m thrilled to death that cnn got rid of tony harris. I got tired of his “little dance” before his show in the afternoon. If he wants to dance, he should be on Dancing with the Stars! By the way, CNN out to think seriously about firing the two “bimbos” with Ali Velshi in the morning……If their skirts get any shorter, we’ll see the color of their underwear! Seriously, does it take three people to read the news?

I agree, that this is a nation, so let us do business as a nation, such as our hiring practices.

CNN, I am very unhappy regarding the fact that Tony Harris is no longer with CNN. I travel back and forth to New york. I did missed Tony, but I thought his time had been changed. Today I looked further, only to find Tony is not with CNN. I miss him very much. I am a senior now 70, and I am upset. As I look at CNN, I see few black male anchors, and I see there are less now than what CNN had in the past. I don’t see any black exercutives. What is going on.

Please, can we stop the complaining about another African not being on CNN. Do we not have all the Black National Associations we need? Can you say be Independent? We are a Nation, so lets do business.

He’s better off at Al-Jazeera. CNN is infotainment. Al-Jazeera is more serious. He is broadening his horizons.

Now that is sad! Although I like CNN, it continues to become less diverse and the loss of minority talent is a cause for concern. I hope they will reevalute their strengthens and weaknesses.
