Columbia Journalism Review: Journalists Can Objectively Say Trump Is ‘Racist’

News media can and should describe President Donald Trump’s conduct as “racist,” argues Columbia Journalism Review (CJR) in a Monday-published post.

Entitled “Dancing around the word ‘racist’ in coverage of Trump,” CJR argues the term “racist” is a preferable decriptor with which to describe Trump and the president’s conduct rather than “racially charged,” “racially loaded,” and “racially divisive.”
