Melissa Joskow / Media Matters President Donald Trump made openly racist remarks on Sunday, tweeting that “‘Progressive’ Democrat Congresswomen” of color should “go back” to other countries instead of “telling the people of the United States ... how our government is to be run.” Many tweets and headlines from news organizations reporting on Trump’s posts failed to accurately label them as racist and instead merely quoted others doing so -- or even worse, simply quoted his words without criticism. CNN, BuzzFeed News, and The Daily Beast accurately described Trump’s attack on the Democratic representatives as “racist” in many of their social media posts and headlines.
