Tonight, @ChrisCuomo criticized Trump’s economy while using data that stops in 2016.
This is complete incompetence. Journalistically and editorially.

Per Fox News, CNN’s Chris Cuomo was accused of journalistic “incompetence” Thursday when he used Obama-era statistics in an attempt to prove systemic racism is impacting the economy under President Trump.
“[Systemic racism] is a fact that you see everywhere you look in black and white, the immediate proof is in the cabinet, where Trump has one black cabinet member and one black domestic policy advisor…let’s start with the economy,” Cuomo said as the on-screen data cited a 2016 Pew Research Center poll.
Barack Obama was the President of the United States in 2016.
“White people make more money than blacks do, period,” Cuomo said.
