SiriusXM host Joe Madison believes that Black Media is as mainstream as all other outlets.
Madison responded to remarks made by CNN Political Analyst April D. Ryan, who appeared on the "SiriusXM Progress" show to discuss the backlash and loss of access she and other Black journalists see if they push politicians too hard.
"@AprilDRyan speaks truth to power," Madison tweeted on Monday. "Black media is just as mainstream as everybody else. We deserve just as much respect, just as much consideration."
Additionally, during Ryan's appearance, she stated that there's navigation to the press room at the White House, where she knows that any wrong question or questioning that upsets those in power can lead to a loss of access.
"The strength of standing in the press room comes from or in the press comes from intrinsically understanding who I am, how I show up in this nation," Ryan said on the SiriusXM show. "You know, understanding that helps me navigate that room.
"For a win for me and for the people who trust me, read me, watch me, listen to me, it's a win if I can show up, authentically me, and still ask the questions but understanding I have to navigate my navigation is different from many of those who are in that room, that room that's predominantly white. My backlash may be a lot different than others."
