Temple University Prof Angry That Three White Men Will Anchor Network Evening Newscasts
The professor doesn’t seem to mind that all three men likely share the same political ideology, she just cares about their gender and the color of their skin.

Lefty Professor: ‘Unconscionable’ That ‘Three White Men’ Will Anchor Network Evening Newscasts
Shortly after news broke on Wednesday that Diane Sawyer would step down as anchor of ABC’s World News and be replaced by David Muir, Temple University journalism professor Karen Turner ranted to MediaBistro’s TVNewser blog: “In this growing multicultural nation, it’s unconscionable that as of September three white men will lead their respective networks.”
While Turner acknowledged that Muir, NBC Nightly News anchor Brian Williams, and CBS Evening News anchor Scott Pelley were “accomplished journalists,” she warned: “The subliminal message this sends is these – white males – are the legitimate faces that should represent America.”
Prior to joining the Temple faculty, Turner served as press secretary for former Democratic Philadelphia Mayor Ed Rendell. She currently teaches an online course entitled “Race and Racism in the News.”

So – she’d be ok with Allen West getting the job?
Or Thomas Sowell?
Hell no – what she means is a true believer in victimology whose race and or gender will make them bulletproof to criticism.
Hypocritical, short sighted, self-serving liar.
What’s she got against white men? That remark is both racist and sexist. If she objects to those three guys, why doesn’t she suggest alternatives so we can find out who she has in mind. Or, is this a case of job for anyone but WM? Obama voter.
