Civil rights activist Robert Woodson slams NY Times, MSNBC

The civil rights activist, Robert L. Woodson Sr., has long criticized the consumer media for having pushed the story that America is intrinsically racist, but he is particularly offended by the New York Times and Al Sharpton of MSNBC.

Woodson, 88, wrote an opinion article in the Wall Street Journal last week, urging the nation to “ignore the race in the way we judge ourselves” before it leads to “national ruin”. He thinks that the media have “degraded the values of the country in the name of the promotion of social justice”.

Woodson was a frank critic of the controversial project of 1619 from the New York Times, which aimed to “crop” the history of America through the objective of slavery. The 1619 project won a Pulitzer prize but was criticized for historical inaccuracies, and Woodson is furious that it was integrated and insinuated in the country’s program.

“He incorporates in America that America should be defined by its congenital slavery malformatics,” Woodson told Fox News Digital.

Due to the project of Nikole Hannah-Jones 1619, with another coverage, Woodson said that the Times was among the most blatant traditional press organizations when it comes to lowering the values of the country.

“The New York Times was the main guilty of condemning the country, burning the flags and celebrating those who lower these values. It is, in fact, these same values of the founders who allowed blacks to survive slavery to Jim Crow,” said Woodson.

A spokesperson for the New York Times provided Fox News Digital The following comment: “This 1619 project was a deep and original report which highlighted new and under-explored truths, and it is natural that relationships of principle and rigorous like this would arouse reflection and discussion. The series has deepened many readers of the understanding of the country, linguistic effects of the range and its centrality America and the significant contributions of the ancients. “

The declaration continued: “Readers benefited enormously from the revolutionary journalism of Nikole Hannah-Jones and the complete team of writers and editors who brought us this transformer work. The New York Times is proud to continue to continue a vital journalism like this.”

Regarding the comment on the burning of the flag, the spokesperson for Times added: “In fact, the central test of the project 1619, the one who won a Pulitzer prize, argued why black Americans should kiss the flag, and the illustrated book which came out last year presented a gallery of patriotic image of people with the flag.”

Woodson also has a bone to choose with Sharpton, a MSNBC weekend host who often directs division gatherings and put his network in a delicate situation before the presidential election of 2024.

MSNBC admitted that it was “ignored” that the Vice-President Kamala Harris campaign had paid $ 500,000 to the non-profit organization of Sharpton Action Network before a friendly interview with the Democratic candidate.

Harris sat on a softball interview on October 20 with Sharpton from MSNBC, an open supporter of Harris and the Democratic Party. After Harris’ loss against President Donald Trump, FEC documents revealed that the Harris campaign made two donations of $ 250,000 to Sharpton’s non -profit organization in September and October – but the MSNBC host did not inform viewers of the contributions or the conflict of interest before or after the interview.

“They would never tolerate it from someone white,” said Woodson.

“You would never have a television anchor that comes out of the demonstrations or the acceptance of the demonstrations or the acceptance [donations] From a political candidate, then the interviewers on their network, “he continued.” Al Sharpton was a particular exception. “”
