Blaze Media is an American conservative media company founded in December 2018 by a merger between TheBlaze, a pay television network founded by Glenn Beck, with Conservative Review, a website founded by talk radio personality Mark Levin. The company's co-presidents are Tyler Cardon and Gaston Mooney. Real credible source. Ha.

Horsefly Posted July 23, 2019 Report Share Posted July 23, 2019 Reverend Owens at CAAP doesn’t hide his political allegiance. He’s simply following right leaning sentiment on the subject. So what Although he claims he has a message for blacks, he peddles it on a majority white network as a frequent guest on F&F. Yeah, no thanks that’s a red flag for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fox and other right leaning media like seeking, finding and using the black dissident to oppose black focused issues because they hope it discredits both the claim and claimant. “If a black guys says its not racism, well it’s not racism!” This thread is a perfect example. Why is the CAAP position so important that several news sources felt the need to report it? 😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, I know, but that agenda is not wrong because it's from the right...Can't say that and the other knows appears not to want to learn.... News is party neutral, to present it any other way is tabloid reporting. It shouldn’t lean one way or another.

Hell just last week one of the squad told all minorities to shut up because they were hurting their races. Rep Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) “We don’t need any more brown faces that don’t want to be a brown voice. We don’t need black faces that don’t want to be a black voice. We don’t need Muslims that don’t want to be a Muslim voice. We don’t need queers that don’t want to be a queer voice” I wonder how much hell would have broken lose had a Republicon said that?
