Wow - they got rid of the black journalists for the McCain segment on Morning Joe

Funny how they disappeared.

I would think that maybe the MJ producers were afraid that McCain's head would pop off if he had to talk to a black person this early in the morning. But this is actually a pattern for this show. The white journalists and other guests - Buchanan, Cramer, Zuckerman, etc. - stay on for the entire show while the black guests - Capehart, Allen, Robinson, Herbert, etc. - are ushered on for a segment or two and then shooed away while the "real" guests continue on the program.

It's glaring and disgusting how racially exclusive this show is.

1. Wow that is really disgustingly obvious!

I wonder how long it will take for the usual excuse making crowd to chime in with reasons why it had nothing to do with race.

2. to be fair, that seems to be the pattern on ALL news shows, from local to national

that AA people only come before the camera to cover events tangentially related to AA issues, but never any other time.

There are obvious exceptions, but it is trend
