african-americans are delivering straight news. we haven t even touched on the network newscasts where there has not been, as carole says, and she was in the anchor chair. let me tie up this by asking you, carole simpson, both of our other guests have mentioned shirley sherrod. there was the controversy over the new black panther party, the justice department case, acorn, skip gates in your city, cambridge, being arrested in his own home. how do you think blacks are covered in the age of obama? not well. and i think it s because of the lack of black input. i don t know what s happening on the assignment desks. i don t know what s happening in the producer ranks. the people that we don t see that make the decisions. and without input from black producers and from black executives and from black assignment editors you re going to get a white perspective on these stories and that s not always an accurate one. it s good to have multiple perspectives especially when it comes to
