Toure: Targeting African American museum makes me want to cry



President Trump is targeting The Smithsonian with an executive order declaring the organization advanced “narratives that portray American and Western values as inherently harmful and oppressive.” The guests debate what the impact of that order will mean for places like the National Museum of African American History and Culture. #CNN #News

  1. From the moment Donald Trump descended the escalator in 2015 to announce his presidential campaign, CNN launched an unrelenting campaign of negative coverage, distortion, and outright falsehoods. CNN, once a reputable news outlet, abandoned objective journalism and became a propaganda arm for the anti-Trump establishment. The network’s pattern of misrepresentation was not accidental — it was a calculated effort to shape public perception against Trump.

    During Trump’s presidency, CNN’s coverage was overwhelmingly negative. A Harvard study found that 93% of CNN’s coverage of Trump was negative in his first 100 days, compared to far more balanced coverage of previous presidents. CNN pushed the now-debunked Russia collusion narrative for years, despite mounting evidence that it was based on a fabricated dossier funded by Hillary Clinton’s campaign. Even after Robert Mueller’s investigation found no evidence of collusion, CNN refused to correct its false narrative, choosing instead to perpetuate doubt and confusion.

    CNN’s coverage of Trump’s policies was equally distorted. Whether it was tax reform, immigration, or foreign policy, CNN selectively edited statements, relied on misleading headlines, and often outright ignored facts to fit their anti-Trump agenda. When Trump brokered historic peace deals in the Middle East, CNN buried the story. When his administration produced record-low unemployment rates, particularly for minority groups, CNN downplayed the success.

    Moreover, CNN consistently gave airtime to “anonymous sources” and “unnamed officials” to promote unfounded claims, creating a cloud of suspicion around Trump. Their infamous town halls and interviews were often filled with loaded questions designed to entrap, not inform.

    CNN’s obsession with undermining Trump culminated in its role during the 2020 election, where it suppressed the Hunter Biden laptop story, a fact later verified and admitted by mainstream outlets. CNN’s refusal to report the truth directly influenced public opinion and interfered with an election.

    In conclusion, CNN’s consistent spread of misinformation, biased reporting, and relentless attacks on Trump prove that it is no longer a neutral news source but a partisan operation. The network’s actions have not only eroded public trust in media but have also contributed to the division in America by spreading lies under the guise of journalism.

  2. CNN =COMMUNIST NAZI NETWORK …where they spew hate and lies 24-7….they cant stand when they are not in power and control ppl.. this why you network is tanking and only diehard liberals and commmunist idiots watch you.

  3. First, stop calling me African-American.

    For centuries, we have been a part of America longer than many of the colonizers and settlers. Through the enslavement of 5 million native people, many of us are descendants of aboriginal Americans.

  4. WHAT IS IT ABOUT BLACK PEOPLE THAT HE FINDS SO THREATENING? HE BETTER NOT CLOSE THAT MUSEUM I WANT TO VISIT IT . HE IS SUCH A RACIST PIG FROM 🐖 HELL PERIOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! .HE NEEDS TO BE STOPPED NOW BEFORE HE DOES ANY MORE DAMAGE TO THIS COUNTRY. HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN PUT IN PRISON A LONG TIME AGO.

  5. THIS MUSEUM…IS ABOUT “HEBREW ISRAELITES,” word for word in the Bible. No other sufferings were described by GOD! It’s the ONLY enslavement GOD describes and cares about, because he punished his people. GOD’s people NEVER had African names or ancient tribal markings on their skin.Trump wants it DESTROYED!

  6. A Black slave was worth 10x an Irish slave.
    There were 400,000 black slaves and 600,000 Irish slaves sent to America. Englishmen could kill Irish slaves with impunity.
    But you don’t see Irish Americans today acting like it’s a big deal in their life.
    Black Americans today need to get over it.
    If it didn’t happen to you then you have no right to complain.

  7. American history and they can't handle their truth! And maybe they can explain in logical terms why a xertian segment of America is disliked. Next to go are confederate museums, after all it was treason! Wasn't it?

  8. HA! Will never happen..it will backfire if he try. And he knows he like a bull in a china shop cause he knows this is his last years in office. But thats YSAP🤷🏾‍♀️

  9. For all of you commenting based on what the one gentleman said, without giving pause to why they didn't include comments from the others on the panel should speak volumes to anyone that watched the one sided video and it's claims by one of the panelists. I'm sure if the rest of the video was here, we would see the context and the reasoning, and then be able to judge for ourselves if CNN is projecting propagandist views in order to further divisiveness, and ager, and hate, and racism. Be hard pressed to find the whole video i'm sure.

  10. Meanwhile the water is STILL dirty in Flint, homelessness is awful and the opiod crisis is still taking lives. We have people committing mass shootings who legally were able to purchase multiple high caliber weaponry. Child predators still don't get enough time or punishments for the crimes. Kids are being kidnapped all the time but he wants to cut funding to a musuem. I'm so over this man and his antics, it hasn't even been 6 months yet. It's scary to think about what else he'll do in these next 4 years.

  11. The saddest part about this entire nightmare is that THEY always "wanted" to not FACE their own ugliness of racism in the country. Black people was the target then and still white people target today. Sad that YOU lash out because of your inferior complex. Even China shut the bullies down.

  12. Boo F'n hoo! Remember…these are the same people that want to rename schools, federal buildings, erase Columbus Day, destroy founding father memorials, tear down statues of generals and founding fathers. Race swap WP from movies.

  13. Trump is a Nazi. Did they remove anything from the Holocaust museums.? They are upset about thier dumb E. Lee statues. That were in every ones faces. This is a museum. Trump is a moron. White people did black people wrong all over the world. And Native people. The south lost, and America has only one flag.

  14. Biden was allowing the silent erasure of Africans contribution to America with the National Archives. "47 the felon" is highlighting the need for African diaspora folks to control their own history. This isn't just the fascists on the Republican side.
