Friend,
MSNBC claims to be a reliable cable news network, but they’re far from it!
Recently, Joe Scarborough -- the host of MSNBC’s morning show “Morning Joe” -- criticized Jorge Ramos’ after he famously challenged Donald Trump’s anti-immigrant rhetoric.
Scarborough even went so far as to offensively suggest that Jorge Ramos was just trying to get his “15 minutes of fame.” Such comments show just how out of touch MSNBC is with the rest of America.
But it get’s worse. Instead of reprimanding Scarborough’s biased reporting on Jorge Ramos exchange with Donald Trump, MSNBC is rewarding him by expanding his show at the expense of one of our community’s most respected Latino journalists, José Díaz-Balart.
José Díaz-Balart built his career at Telemundo and has strong ties to the immigrant and latino communities, but now MSNBC may be ending his show just so that they can give an extra hour to “Morning Joe.”
Every morning, José Díaz-Balart reports the facts about immigrant contributions in the United States. He’s a critical voice for millions of immigrant families across the country.
As a journalist, it has been José Díaz-Balart who has spoken to President Obama about his executive actions, challenged Donald Trump’s anti-immigrant rhetoric, and has consistently spoken to DREAMers about their advocacy efforts.
MSNBC cannot have it both way - they cannot claim to be a reliable cable news network, while silencing journalists like José Díaz-Balart.
In recent years, MSNBC has attempted to have a lineup that reflects the diversity of America and to hear directly from journalists and commentators who are African American, Latino, Asian American.
By pulling the plug on José Díaz-Balart, MSNBC is silencing Latino voices with their programming schedule. I hope that you will join me in demanding fair and balanced reporting from MSNBC.
Thank you for your support,
Juan Escalante
