If you want things to be fair then match the population makeup of the US.

I wonder why the National Association for the Advancement of Colored people doesn't boycott ABC, NBS, CBS, CNN and FOXNEWS.

Just wondering the cause of such under-representation at the networks.

I suspect you've been living in a fall-out shelter without a cable hook-up. Or else you wouldn't have asked the question in the first place.
