At one time, CNN was probably close to being the most politically centrist network broadcasting. However, now that it is putting former NBC personnel into key management positions, it is showing signs that it intends to move further to the left.

I'm not so sure. Getting rid of Soledad O'Brien and Anderson Cooper sounds encouraging. The thing that gives me some hope for CNN is that Fox News has proven that "fair and balanced" coverage is more lucrative than leftist propaganda.
The old adage of follow the money is usually sound advice. Sooner or later, somebody, other than Fox News, is going to put the desire to make money above the desire to spread socialism. Not only does legitimate news coverage pay better than propaganda, it has the added advantage of being the truth.
Is it just me or does Soledad O'Brien not look Irish.

Soledad is a cutie pie
Some personal history
Quote:
O'Brien's parents, both immigrants, met at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland. My parents were both immigrants—my mother from Cuba, my father from Australia. Both attended daily Mass at the church near campus. Every day my father would offer my mother a ride. Every day, she declined. Finally she said yes. One year later, the day after Christmas, the two of them were married.[4]
O'Brien's parents married in 1958 in Washington, D.C. Her father Edward, an Australian (from Toowoomba, Queensland)[5] of Irish descent, was a mechanical engineering professor.[6] Her mother, Estella, who is Afro-Cuban, was a French and English teacher.[6] O'Brien is the fifth of six children, who all graduated from Harvard College; O'Brien attended Harvard from 1984 to 1988, but did not obtain a degree until she returned in 2000.[7] Her siblings are law professor Maria (born 1961); corporate lawyer Cecilia (born 1962), businessman Tony (born 1963) – who heads a documents company;[5] eye surgeon Estela (born 1964); and anesthesiologist Orestes (born 1967).[6][8]
At the time, interracial marriage in Maryland was illegal, so O'Brien's parents married in Washington, D.C. where marriage laws were less restrictive.[citation needed] The newly wedded O'Briens then moved to the Long Island community of St. James, where Soledad O'Brien was born and raised. She graduated from Smithtown High School East in 1984.[9] On the NPR quiz show Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!, O'Brien explained that in Spanish her full name means, "The Blessed Virgin Mary of Solitude". When she started working in TV, many people recommended that she change her name, but she refused.[10]
O'Brien states that she does not speak Spanish fluently and that has sometimes resulted in some awkward exchanges with people who assume she does, including former US Vice President Al Gore.[11] Since 1995, O'Brien has been married to Bradley Raymond, co-head of investment banking at Thomas Weisel Partners. Together they have two daughters, Sofia (October 2000) and Cecilia (March 2002); and twin sons Charles and Jackson (August 2004).[12]

She was a hack; an obvious air head who was in the tank for Obama. She was caught actually reading the WH talking points in an on-air interview, pretending they represented her own independent views. Her idea of research is to quote Wikipedia.
CNN could tolerate her race baiting and liberal bias. But once viewers caught on to her obvious ineptitude, her ratings tanked and O'brien was toast. A failed product of affirmative action IMO.

I wonder why it is that when someone is half black and half white, they're always considered to be black. Soledad is as much a white person as a black person, but no one would ever call her white. The same is true for Obama. He's half white but no one ever refers to him as white; he's always referred to as black, or occasionally mixed race, but never white. I wonder why that is.

Never heard of the One Drop Rule?
Quote:
The one-drop rule is a historical colloquial term in the United States for the social classification as Negro of individuals with any African ancestry; meaning any person with "one drop of Negro blood" was considered black. The principle of "invisible blackness" was an example of hypodescent, the automatic assignment of children of a mixed union between different socioeconomic or ethnic groups to the group with the lower status.[1] The one-drop rule was not adopted as law until the 20th century: first in Tennessee in 1910 and in Virginia under the Racial Integrity Act of 1924 (following the passage of similar laws in several other states).

Why is it that rich black men almost always marry or date a woman that is far lighter in skin color than themselves, very often white, hispanic or oriental?
It is extemely rare for a rich black man to marry or date a woman with skin darker than their own; Obama is the only example I can think of, off the top of my head. Why is it that mixed race black-white marriages are 99% black men with white women. You almost never see a white man marry, or date, a black woman.
It appears that light skinned African-American females are much more in demand by black males than darker skinned females.

Yep. I just think it's an interesting topic. The really interesting stuff is usually the stuff you're not supposed to talk about.
