Dear Mr. Birnbaum:
I am coming to you to alert you that MSNBC has inadvertently omitted
Andrew Yang's photo on your slate of all Democratic 2020
Presidential candidates. Despite the fact that a handful of your
hosts and hostesses interviewed Yang, his photo is still
persistently left out from your Network screen at this writing, to
my knowledge. If that has changed, please enlighten me by replying
to this email.
I would like to mention a few of your shows broadcasted nationwide
here as a reminder. Andrew Yang's photo was not included in a recent
Andrea Mitchell report on Democratic Presidential Candidates 2020. I
am deeply troubled by the absence of his photo as MSNBC is my top of
the list watch of all T.V. shows/ programs. I prided that you report
accurate, fair, democratic and complete news.
Moreover, it appears to me just about all your MSNBC talk host shows
from Morning Joe to the 11th Hour have reported very few (& limited
airtime) almost next to nothing, Andrew's policies for America.
Morning Joe gave him 5 minutes & 20 seconds and Andrew Yang did not
come in till the very ending session of his show. I woke up at 3:00
AM (PT) and waited until 5:50 AM (PT) to catch a glance of this
interview.
I twitted to just every MSNBC host/ hostess I watch daily about this
situation. As of this writing, nothing came back to me. This
includes the following names: C Mathews, C Hayes, R Maddow, L.
O'Donnell, and B Williams, the hostess of AM Joy and so forth.
Andrew Yang was one of only 6 candidates who had met both the
polling (greater than 1%) and number of individual donors (greater
than 60,000; now more than 100,000) as required by DNC to be
included in the first two debates scheduled for June/July. Why is
this fact not reported by your shows?
Andrew Yang was born in New York City, New York and his parents were
immigrants from Taiwan. He is an American and he loves America like
all Americans, if not more. Please check him out.
I sincerely hope YOU will look into this situation and fix it. It is
not right to ignore (whether intentionally or not) a Democratic
Presidential Candidate who really have something to offer our
country without announcing him and letting Americans know. This
negligence has already seen by some as deliberate disregard of
people's will or DISCRIMINATTION against Asian Americans on the part
of MSNBC, of which I hope you will prove these people wrong.
Thank you for your attention and I wait for your reply soon.
Sincerely yours,
