McWhorter to The Chattering Class: Why Give Noose-Bearers Attention?
Writer and Manhattan Institute Fellow John McWhorter was on NPR’s Talk of the Nation this afternoon speaking about the media response to the symbolism of the noose.
”The big brouhaha in the media every time someone does this … is not preventing it from happening,” said McWhorter. McWhorter last week gave a commentary on NPR that drew such a wide-ranging response that Talk of the Nation arranged today’s in-studio appearance as a follow up. McWhorter argues that the media ought to stop covering every noose attack with such bombast, as it only increases the incidences of copy-cat reactions from societal miscreants.
