Cable news in black and white

Written By mista sense on Monday, August 1, 2005 | 9:33 AM



The Washington Post reports on a National Urban League study that finds only 8% of Sunday morning talk show guests over the past 18 months were African-American.

The Post piece notes that FNC is the only cable news channel with a regular African-American guest--Juan Williams--on Sunday mornings:

"Williams, a senior correspondent for National Public Radio and an analyst for Fox News Sunday, is the only African American who appears regularly on a Sunday morning talk show. 'I don't go anywhere in the country without people saying, 'Thank God you're there,' he said. 'They say they watch for that reason.'"
