"Here is a newsflash for CNN — I have a name and it's Tim Scott... News outlets like CNN time and time again refuse to use my name when referring to me in article headlines."
"The double standard with CNN is stunning. In fact, check out these headlines for Democrat Senators Kamala Harris and Cory Booker. Why is it that when I give a floor speech on the same topic, I am simply referred to as a black senator?"Writes Senator Tim Scott in in fundraising email I received at 7:54 this morning (full text below, after the jump).
He quotes 2 CNN headlines — "Sen. Booker: This nation is greater than this" and "See Sen. Harris speech on anti-lynching legislation" — and and then the CNN headline about him: “See black senator’s emotional response to senator’s ‘token’ remark."
I had to use the Wayback Machine to get a look at that headline...
... because the relevant URL now takes you to a CNN page that has the headline Scott says he wants:
Using the Wayback Machine, I was able to figure out that the original headline went up on June 18th, and the new headline appeared on June 20th. So for 2 days, he was "a black senator" having an "emotional response." Notice that the photo changed too. In the emotional-black-senator picture, he's crying and covering his face with his hands. In the replacement picture, he's standing tall and speaking forthrightly and using his hands with speech-augmenting expressiveness.
I don't know exactly why the changes were made, but they do hide the evidence of what CNN did when the story was fresh. Presumably, CNN heard the criticism and reacted. It didn't stop Scott from using this in a fund-raising letter 7 days later.
Read the full text of the email below. Scott contends that "CNN and others in the media... don’t want to hear" that he owes his success in life to "a mentor who taught me about conservative values" and wants to deliver the message that "conservative values can unleash opportunity for all Americans."
Scott is a strong voice for a message conservatives very much would like to forefront in response to the George Floyd protests: The answer is conservative values.
Friend,
“See black senator’s emotional response to senator’s ‘token’ remark”
-CNN Headline
Here is a newsflash for CNN— I have a name and it's Tim Scott, and I also happen to represent over 5 million South Carolinians in the United States Senate.
I have dealt with this my entire life and especially during my time in politics. News outlets like CNN time and time again refuse to use my name when referring to me in article headlines.
The double standard with CNN is stunning. In fact, check out these headlines for Democrat Senators Kamala Harris and Cory Booker.
Why is it that when I give a floor speech on the same topic, I am simply referred to as a black senator?
Help me fight back by making a donation of $5, $15, $25, or even $50 to send a strong message to CNN and others in the media who refuse to use my name.
Could it be that CNN does not want to acknowledge that I am a conservative Republican Senator that is working on reforming our criminal justice system?
My friend, sadly we have come to expect this type of treatment from CNN and others in the media.
They don’t want to hear my story or acknowledge my voice because it does not fit into the narratives they are trying to create.
They don’t want to hear how I was raised in a single parent household in North Charleston by a mother who worked 16-hour days as a nurse to put food on the table and put a roof over our heads.
They don’t want to hear that after almost failing out of high school as a freshman, I found a mentor who taught me about conservative values.
They don’t want to hear my voice which offers a fresh perspective as to how conservative values can unleash opportunity for all Americans.
I know I can count on you to help amplify my voice, even up against the constant attacks from CNN. Will you help me fight back by making a donation of $5, $15, $25, or even $50?
