Again, discrimination on any basis is a problem. The topic here is a specific journalist whose excellence merits him attention. That is a separate issue from the need for diversity. You are conflating the positive of diversity with Terry Moran's being targeted by Trump, being fired as a result by his employer, and then being encouraged to join MTN.

Like so many white USians, you're not getting it. Discrimination by those in power is far more important than discrimination by those who aren't in power (which might sensibly be called "self-defense"). This should be obvious, with white Christians claiming that they're being discriminated against. What they're complaining about is that they're being deprived of the privilege to which they consider themselves entitled. If this is not obvious to you, please read a little more U.S. history.

Just for the record, not a USian. I do get it. The problem here is you are commenting on related but different issues, not whether Terry Moran should be vilified for being a white, older man, in spite of his impressive journalistic credentials, because other older, white men have behaved badly.
