Unless You're a Woman...

CNN put out this snazzy feel good promo claiming that they are “committed to building an inclusive culture that empowers diverse voices across all screens and behind-the-scenes.”

But watching CNN Prime-Time from 8=11PM, I dare you to find a woman hosting her own show. Yes, CNN has Erin Burnett on at 7PM, but not a single female in prime-time.

Read Brian Stelter’s newsletter and you will often see mentions of Chris Cuomo, Jim Acosta, Don Lemon, Anderson Cooper, but rarely see him mention Burnett.

Also, after Don Lemon, how many people of color do you see hosting a main show at CNN?

They claim to be “building an inclusive culture” but watching their channel, I would beg to differ.

The promo is slick, but talk is cheap. Let’s see Jeff Zucker put a woman or better yet women on CNN’s prime-time schedule and then maybe start crowing about how great you are.

At @CNN, we are committed to building an inclusive culture that empowers diverse voices across all screens and behind-the-scenes. This is journalism that reflects the world we live in. This is the work that continues. #WeAreCNN pic.twitter.com/7hZkyrrwA2
