Ashleigh Banfield

Once again, CNN has come under fire for its blatantly biased reporting on black American culture.

While covering the success of the biopic Straight Outta Compton, CNN Anchor Ashleigh Banfield — whom many consider to be an unrepentant racist — noted the lack of violence at the theaters showing the film.

There was an instantaneous outcry from many of Banfield’s fellow journalists and former co-workers who called her out for making a blatantly racist stereotype.

“Really CNN???? Disgraceful,” tweeted former CNN/HLN Anchor Richelle Carey.

“See that’s that bull—,” ESPN’s Jemele Hill tweeted angrily.

When a Twitter.com follower asked Hill, “how’s that BS? She stated a fact… No violence is good.” — Hill responded, “Why would be there be an expectation of violence in the first place? Based of what?”

And in an earlier tweet, Hill responded to a tweet about a theater manager checking bags for guns: “Even though the tragic movie theatre shootings were done by…nevermind.”

There’s a reason why CNN fired outspoken black reporters like Carey and Roland Martin, while keeping a milquetoast boot licker like Don Lemon on the payroll.
