Roland S. Martin Instagram – I have not been silent about the travesty of Donald Trump being invited to address @nabjofficial. Leadership has heard directly from me about this.
This man is a serial liar. He has attacked journalists, the Free Press and NABJ members such as April Ryan, Yamiche Alcindor and Jemele Hill. Yes, he is the GOP presidential candidate. But his past actions speaks to why he should not be given a platform.
It is an abomination that the @nabjofficial leadership is allowing HARRISFAULKNER to participate in a panel questioning Donald Trump. @FoxNews is 100% in the tank for Trump. They also paid $787 million for advancing his lies about the 2020 election. That disqualifies them COMPLETELY. And that disqualifies HER.
Furthermore, I am dismayed, angered, and offended that not ONE Black male journalist out of 4,000 was selected. If this was three brothers, sisters would be rightfully pissed, and I would be calling them out too.
I respect @semafor, but they are barely 2 years old in October. How is @NABJ in Chicago, a city with a rich Black Press history, and not invite ANYONE from Black-owned media? | Posted on 30/Jul/2024 21:48:36
