CNN's race obsession didn't emerge organically—it was manufactured by major media outlets through deliberate editorial choices. Media critic Batya Ungar-Sargon presented data during a live panel that left host Abby Phillip without answers.
The numbers are striking. The Washington Post and New York Times combined published "white supremacy" 75 times in 2010, then jumped to 700 times in 2020. NPR ran 2,400 mentions of related race-focused language that year alone. References to racial and white privilege surged 1,500 percent between 2013 and 2019. Sociologists have labeled this shift the "Great Awokening"—and it correlates directly with media editorial decisions, not actual worsening conditions in America.
This wasn't grassroots concern rising from communities. This was institutional media choosing to flood coverage with racial narratives, fundamentally reshaping national discourse. The data proves the media built the obsession.

A guy bought a $1,500 Samsung TV 3 years ago.
He watched Netflix. He watched YouTube. He thought the picture looked fine. He assumed that's just what a TV looks like.
His friend, a home theater installer who calibrates TVs for a living, walked into his apartment and looked at the screen for 5 seconds.
"You're watching everything in demo mode. The motion smoothing is on. The eco dimmer is cutting your brightness by 40%. Your TV is taking a screenshot of your screen every 30 seconds and selling your viewing data to advertisers. And you're watching a $1,500 panel in the same picture mode Best Buy uses under fluorescent lights to make TVs pop on a showroom wall."
He changed 9 settings in 12 minutes.
The picture looked like a different television. The soap opera effect disappeared. The colors became natural. The TV stopped spying on him.
Here's every setting he changed 🧵
I've been holding back on this, but I'm just gonna let loose...
So many of these "protestors" here in Asheville NC have had their lives DRAMATICALLY improved by President Trump.
Trump's FEMA resolved 80% of ALL open Hurricane Helene cases Biden left sitting 116 days... in 5 DAYS.
Trump's DOT gave nearly $2 BILLION to fix roads and bridges in WNC, which is the largest Emergency Relief allocation in federal highway history.
Trump's DOT reopened I-40 in 5 months. Everyone said it would take years.
Trump's HUD approved $1.4 billion for Helene housing recovery so fast that even Democrat Governor Josh Stein publicly thanked him for it.
Trump's USDA delivered $221 million directly to WNC farmers who lost everything.
Trump gave NC 6 full months of 100% federal cost coverage — one of the longest in FEMA history.
The same people driving on rebuilt roads, drinking clean water, living the comeback... are out here protesting the man who made most of it happen.
JUST GIVE CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE!!!
It's not that hard.
He knew you hated him before the storm.
He knew that when he landed in Asheville.
And guess what?
HE SHOWED UP AND HELPED YOU ANYWAYS!!!!!!
And today you grabbed your little sign and costumes, got in your little Subaru, you drove on those rebuilt roads, over those rebuilt bridges, passed rebuilt houses and rebuilt parks, to protest a man who helped your city.
You look stupid, out of touch, and insanely ungrateful.

Incredible investigation today from @CBSNews. Our reporters visited "ground zero" for hospice fraud: Los Angeles, California. One building had 89 registered hospices . . .

🚨 Obama’s close friend and former White House counsel, Kathryn Ruemmler — who was just forced out of Goldman Sachs after her close ties to Jeffrey Epstein were exposed by the Trump administration — also represented George Nader during his involvement with the Russian collusion hoax!
Nader was shortly thereafter arrested for trafficking and sexually abusing a 14-year-old boy.
Ruemmler sure enjoys surrounding herself with child predators!
🚨 REP. LISA MCCLAIN GOES ABSOLUTELY NUCLEAR: "They m*rder, they s*xually assault young women, minors. And what do Democrats want to do!? 'Let's RELEASE them and CELEBRATE the people who are R*PING YOUR CHILDREN!'" 💯
She's right. The left is VILE.
