[quote=flu]Funny also CNN buries this on the back pages and it isn’t page 1 content. I guess negative coverage of Trump (which we all already know about) is far more important than some of the social issues, especially when it doesn’t fit with the far left progressive narrative of being all inclusive of all “minorities”…. lol[/quote]
Well griping about Trump does fit the far left progressive narrative, while race-based admissions processes (which these groups support) are inherently racist, discriminatory and racially biased. This is the hypocrisy of the far left.
If you want to get more Blacks and Hispanics into college, don’t force feed at the college level. Fix the respective elementary, intermediate and high schools. Push the parents to be more involved in their children’s education. Push the focus to be on the basics and not ‘feel good’ classes or social promotion. If you try to force it at college, too much time is spent on remedial classes to try to bring them up to speed.
On a side note, I don’t know how much of the page position is dependent upon intentional placement vs algorithm based placement based upon information on tracking your previous views or the views of those from your area/county/state. The intent would be to present to you only those things that you would view or which could also lead to additional ‘views’. This can cause a problem where news only presents things that they think agree with your current beliefs based upon tracking info and that then can lead to something known as confirmation bias.

Here’s the problem. The news agencies are not your typical ‘company’. They can’t behave as propagandists or lobbyists. If they do, they cross over into a different part of tax code as well as ‘rights’ to operate. The first amendment gives certain freedoms of the press to news agencies to poke and prod (try to get past a fire-line without a press pass, or past police barriers without a press pass) which the rest of us don’t get. With that comes some responsibilities for honesty and ‘fair play’.
