MSNBC host Al Sharpton mentioned race in some capacity a total of 314 times on PoliticsNation in 2013, according to Washington Free Beacon analysis. That is an average of more than once per broadcast.
The WFB study was inspired by a similar analysis that the Media Research Center concluded in January. MRC says Sharpton counted 215 mentions of race last year, but seems to have omitted his frequent mentions of “racial” and “racially” related matters on the show.
Hence, the difference in the findings of the number of times Sharpton has alluded to race or acts of supposed racial discrimination. When you make up your own definitions of race related language and acts of racism, you pretty much can control the direction of the narrative that you seek to build.
MSNBC.com Executive Editor Richard Wolffe complained on Sharpton’s very program in January that some in the media “enjoy the politics of race” and that it “really helps their ratings” to stay focused on the subject. Given Sharpton’s stranglehold on second-place in the 6 p.m. cable news ratings, we can only assume that Wolffe is correct.
Watch the video reprise of Sharpton's using race and playing the 'race' card in some form or another to attack anyone that does not agree with his use of race baiting tactics in virtually any discussion he tries to lead, especially if it's against a politically right of center guest he is interviewing.
Sharpton is simply one example of the low and vile purveyors of hate on MSNBC. It's his stock and trade and he and others of his ilk have made a cottage industry of race baiting and hate mongering. They make money off of it and, since they have no other discernible skills to apply in the private sector, they lower their ethical standards to that of street thugs to make money off the misery of others.
Watch the montage of Sharpton using race in addressing an
issue or responding to something someone said on his program. Look at the
expressions of some of the guests as Sharpton plays the 'race' card. It's
a 3 minute video that you can pick up on the 'race' theme in the first 30
seconds.
