[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]AP: "White Population Shrinking"
WP: "Census Data Shows Decrease in White Population"
NBC: "White rural population shrinks"
Yahoo: "2020 census finds white population shrinking"
Politico: "Census shows white population shrinking below 60%"
Newsweek: "Delayed census data shows U.S. White population at Smallest Point on Record."

This strikes me as a weird, cynical focus. Are they looking for clicks by stoking racial anxiety among white people? [/quote]
Unprecedented things get headlines.[/quote]

Similar headlines are appearing in center-right publications, in case anyone thinks this is a creation of the "left-wing media."

WSJ: Censusa Data Show America's White Population Shrank for the First Time
Newsmax: 2020 Census: Whites Fall Below 60 Percent for 1st Time
New York Post: Number of white people in US expected to decline for first time in history: census
Newsmax: New U.S. Census Data Shows White Population Shrank For First Time

So if the media is "stoking racial anxiety among white people" (which I don't think it is), then media on the right and left are doing it.[/quote]

Not on Fox News, as another PP pointed out.  Their headline was fair, balanced, and non-inflammatory.

I'm the PP who posted about foxnews.

While clearly fox news didn't use a clickbait headline, other right wing media outlets are doing the same as the MSM outlets.

I don't mind reading foxnews, and I find some of the real journalists credible and likeable like Chris Wallace.  The talking heads like Carlson, though, spew so much disinformation that it is hurting this country.  As much as I dislike people like Cuomo on CNN, at least Cuomo isn't peddling conspiracy theories.[/quote]
