I remember seeing the impact the emotion Walter Cronkite displayed when he reported the death of John F. Kennedy, live, on the air, in 1963! It was genuine... It was a professional caught up in the moment, breaking the rules of journalism by displaying emotion! That he was not biased in his reporting. And America felt his sorrow and his old school professionalism allowed us, as a nation to respect him more! The assassination of JFK was such a shocking event, that even the media was taken for a loss!
Jump to today! A million different news outlets via television, print and the internet. CNN is definitely one of the biggest sources for billions of people on this planet to receive their news! This case is being watched by how many people around the world?
Now enter Sunny Hostin. A former federal prosecutor! Now, a legal analyst for CNN. In my observations, I have seen her display emotion on numerous occasions for her support of the prosecution! Even today, unprofessional. What I notice, is that her opinions are based solely on race! As if, a George Zimmerman aquital, would result in a loss for the black population in this country! There is no place in media for racial biased to be openly displayed by a commentator on television! If she were white and displayed this type of emotion for George Zimmerman, she would be labeled a racist and kicked off the air!
